Highlight a file on an already open Windows Explorer window

[theaudioguy]

I know how to open Windows Explorer to a certain path with the certain file already highlighted. My question...Is is possible to highlight a file on a Windows Explorer window that is already open.

Example: I have a Windows Explorer window open that has a bunch of '.wav' files. I want to be able to enter in the file name (i.e. '0003') and then the file '0003.wav' will automatically be selected.

Does that make sense? Any suggestions?

Sort of a bump....

I can find the handle (hWnd) of the opened Explorer window that I want to change. Would it be possible to use the SendMessage api (and maybe LVM_SETHOTITEM) to select a different file in that window?

Thanks again.
