Don't you just love inconsistencies! I get weird results using your
"string". Why not use expanduser?
py> path = os.path.expanduser('~\\AppData')
Of course that will not solve your main problem though. Probably since
showing hidden files is a function of the OS setting, which explorer
follows blindly. I tried your code AFTER changing "show
hidden_files_and_folders=True" and both dialogs open into the correct
directory, as expected. You could modify the setting, then show the
dialog, then revert the setting back.
Ah. The joys of Win32 scripting... *chokes*
