Set the initial directory. Then set the flag that disables the ability of the user to
change the directory. Unfortunately, this may be overkill. But right now it's all we've
got.

An alternative would be to create a subclass and implement the OnFolderChange handler,
which processes the notification message on directory change. Then, if the changed
directory is a subdirectory of the root, you let it go by, otherwise, you revert to the
saved directory. I haven't looked at this to see if it will really do the job
