Open Folder (external window) from VB.NET 2003

[Marcin Floryan]

Hello!

A simple question (I can't figure it out myself)

I want to be able to open some windows folder (in an external window -
process) from within my VB.NET application.
I would like to get the same behavour like doing "Start->Run..." with (for
example: "C:\")

I tried Shell("C:\") but it says "FileNotFound" :-(
How can I do it?

(I want to open a directory for my user where his results are stored)

Best regards,

Marcin Floryan

Try this...

Shell("explorer c:\", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus, False, -1)
