Alright, so here's what I'm trying to do. I am writing a program that will search the hard drive for particular files. Once it's done, I'd like the results to display like a folder. For example: If I looked for log files in c: and c:\Windows, I would want to put those files in a 'virtual directory' and be able to manipulate them -- as you would in Windows Explorer.

The only thing I can think of that is similar is the search companion, but this software must be compatible with Windows 7. :)

I know it is possible to display a real folder (i.e. c:\windows) in the webbrowser control, but can you have your own virtual directory and only view files that you want in it?
 
Windows Explorer is simply a window that contains a tree view and a list view. You can create your own .NET form that contains a TreeView and a ListView. If you don't need the tree then just use a ListView.
