   How to open needed branch in GUI_Explorer at start time when the particular brach is put to command line?

I use GUI_Explorer example. Really it is very similar to explorer.exe. 
I want to add some functionality. I want make it work as explorer. 

When you run explorer with command line parameter then it uses parameter as folder or disk name to browse in the left tree. For example "explorer.exe z:\folder" opens in the tree the corresponding branch of disk Z:. So I want to do the same.

But I stuck there. When I add parameter to command line then MFC takes this parameter as the event that user wants to open a document. So when it process ProcessShellCommand function it calls CDocument::OnOpenDocument()  and I should change tree position here. (Or not?)  I tried to do it and called  GetParentFrame()->m_TreeCtrl.TunnelTree(lpszPathName)&nbs p; but it fails on ASSERT inside MFC. I tried some different places but again I get ASSERT falure. Looks like CShellListCtrl is not in memory or something else.

How to make CShellListCtrl position to the needed place? 

Now it uses "My documents" folder to start from.

Is it right place CDocument::OnOpenDocument() to control CShellListCtrl?

	1. use PopulateTree PopulateTree(lpszPathName); bvut check if m_TreeCtrl.GetSafeHwnd() not NULL in CDocument::OnOpenDocument. Don';t think it is right pace. 2: in 9.70 was added m_TreeCtrl.SetRootFolder(nRootFolder) try SetRootFolder(CSIDL_PERSONAL) in constructor of m_TreeCtrl
