Windows Explorer control for WPF?

Is there a way to have a Windows Explorer on WPF? The closes I can get is the Web Browser, but it's not really what I need.

Please assist.

Thanks

JAM Software recently released a WPF edition of their ShellBrowser controls. They contain a wrapped Windows Explorer as well as custom built tree and list controls. Also included is a preview control similar to the one in the Windows Explorer on the right. Full disclosure: I am one of the developers of ShellBrowser.

You can also check this out. It's fresh to the market and you'll need to pay, but it was designed to be identical in every way to the Windows Explorer Chrome:

The controls you get for free from WPF look like crap. They are only meant to get developers started.

I have written a WinForms library that might help. It's not WPF but you can host it in a WPF application.

You can find the library at: http://gong-shell.sourceforge.net/

Check out the explorer browser control in the Windows API Code Pack. Compatible with Vista and 7, I believe.
