Answer 1

There are still some things more easily accomplished with the Shell objects for Scripting. You can get access from .NET using

var sh = (Shell32.IShellDispatch4)Activator.CreateInstance(
                                       Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Shell.Application"));

(add a reference to Shell32.dll to have the interop classes created)
