I am trying to open windows explorer at a specific path on a server.
Path is not found
whe run. It works ok using a local path. How do i address a server?

Code as follows;
{
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo exploreTest
= new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
exploreTest.FileName = "explorer.exe";
exploreTest.Arguments ="\"\\servername\\path\\";
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(exploreTest);
}
Thanks

You're missing double "\" symbol. Server name must be prefixed with
doble "\"

So, change this line of code
exploreTest.Arguments ="\\\\servername\\path\\";
or
exploreTest.Arguments = @"\\servername\path\";
