File/Folder browse dialog?

I'm developing a program in which I want to provide the user with a
way to easily select various files and/or folders for further
processing. Ideally, I would like to use a selection dialog like the
one that's in the Windows XP Pro Backup Utility (where each
file/folder has a "selected" check box next to it).

Anyone know of anything like this that's available in the form of a
control that I can use in my VB6 program?

Thanks.

As I recall that's just a treeview control with checkmarks.  There is no
built-in control for this you can access; you'll have to write the code to
populate the treeview yourself. This might start you off ...
