FWIW, this is what I use

#include <shlobj.h> //SHBrowseForFolder

// Callback for the BrowseForFolder, which purpose is to set the initial
folder
int CALLBACK BrowseCallbackProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, LPARAM /*lParam*/,
LPARAM lpData)
{
 switch (uMsg) {
    case BFFM_INITIALIZED:
      ::SendMessage(hwnd, BFFM_SETSELECTION, (WPARAM)TRUE, lpData);
      break;
  }

  return 0;
}

void MyClass::CmBrowseForFolder()
{
 std::auto_ptr<char> dir(new char[_MAX_PATH]);
 GetCurrentDirectory(MAX_PATH,dir.get());
 BROWSEINFO info;
 memset(&info,0,sizeof(info));
 info.hwndOwner = GetHandle();
 info.lpszTitle = "Select the source directory";
 info.lpfn = BrowseCallbackProc;
 info.lParam = (LPARAM)dir.get();
   //info.ulFlags = BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE;
 LPITEMIDLIST items = SHBrowseForFolder(&info);
   if (items) {
  if (SHGetPathFromIDList(items, dir.get()))
   SetDlgItemText(IDC_DIR,dir.get());
      LPMALLOC ppMalloc;
      HRESULT result = SHGetMalloc(&ppMalloc);
      if (SUCCEEDED(result) && ppMalloc) {
       ppMalloc->Free(items);
      }
   }
}

I'm not sure about how I free memory. Suggestions would be wellcome.
