Check the shell libraries in the Windows API Code Pack. The code also comes with lots of examples.

About XP: I've never tried those libraries on XP (and I cannot right now), but I assumed that not everything is Win7/Vista specific. Maybe the shell libraries are not. Have you tried to compile one of the examples?

There is a file dialog for users to select a file, if that's what you mean. Have a look at the OpenFileDialog class.
