[python-win32] Walking the shell namespace in Python

[Thomas Heller]

Does someone have example code snippets how to walk the shell namespace in Python?
I'm lost in all these pidls and folders.

Basically I want to implement a combobox similar to the 'explorer bar' in Windows explorer;
given a certain directory - say 'c:\Python26\lib\site-packages' I want to find the names
(and laster also the icons) for the files and folders in it, and (more important) the anchestor
names and icons like this (using a german windows):

Desktop
 Eigene Dateien
 Arbeitsplatz
  WD320 (C:)
   Python26
    Lib
     site-packages
  DVD-RAM Laufwerk (D:)
  ...
 Netzwerk
 Papierkorb
 ...

Thanks,
