I'm using an OpenFileDialog and I want to set the Initial directory to the
current users desktop, any quick way to get this?

Jason,
You can use Environment.GetFolderPath to get paths to system folders.

Something like:
Dim dialog as New OpenFileDialog
dialog.InitialDirectory =
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop)

Hope this helps
