I haven't programmed in quite a while and now I'm trying to do something
that I haven't done before...
I'm interested in looking in a folder and taking the name of every file in
that folder and adding it to a combo box...
what would be the easiest way to accomplish this task at runtime?

Chris,
In this business you don't have to remember what you learned, remember where
you did read it.
That is what Herfried does.

I use the computer as external memory. And I use a wireless connection
(Bluetooth) now instead of the USB connection. So I don't need any patches
any more on my head. I have sold the USB brainconnector to Fergus now.
