Re: Filter what the FolderBrowserDialog shows?

FolderBrowserDialog is a wrapper for SHBrowseForFolder which does support
custom filtering; but FolderBrowserDialog doesn't implement that
particular feature.  You'd have to re-write FolderBrowserDialog to do what
you want.  Even if it wasn't sealed you'd have to re-write most of code
(RunDialog override and the callback method) anyway.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms647664.aspx describes the
detail of FolderBrowseDialog and the use of the IFilterSite interface to
do the custom filtering.  Arik Poznanski wrote a series of articles on
shell programming in C# that included a bit of detail on custom filters in
the first of the series:
