Re: Comparing FolderItems

This works. If you copy paste the name of the item you looking for, from 
win explorer into "nota.txt", you will know if there are strange 
characters in it.

Dim desktopFolder As FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Desktop
If desktopFolder Is Nil Then
   Return
End If

Dim count As Integer  = desktopFolder.Count
For i As Integer = 1 To count
   Dim f As FolderItem = desktopFolder.Item(i)

   If f <> Nil Then
     if f.Name = "nota.txt" then
       ListBox1.AddRow(f.Name)
     end if
   End If
Next
