Hi there !
Can somebody help me understand how i can
display the contents of a drive ( for example E:\ drive).
I want to display all the contents of the CD-ROM by
clicking a button on a form. The action of clicking the
button should launch explorer to view all the contents of
the CD.

With thanks in advance...
Abhishek

Notice that this is a VB.NET language group (no relation to VB6). You will
more likely get an answer in the VB Classic newsgroups
(microsoft.public.vb.*). Have a Google Search on 'ShellExecute'. This API
function can be used to open a folder in explorer.
 
Hi Abhishek, this is a VB.NET newsgroup. Please turn to a VB6.0 newsgroup,
such as microsoft.public.vb

Hi Abhishek,
Use Shell("Explorer.exe H:\") where H: is your cd drive letter.

In VB6, you shouldn't have brackets on Sub calls.
