Anyone know of a reference for the Explorer.exe switches and shell extensions
for Vista. In 2000 and 2003 we would launch the Printers Control Panel via
creating a directory called "Printers.{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}"
and executing the the following which would launch the Printers Contol Panel
in a single pane w/o the ability to browse to other locations using the
explorer interface.

explorer.exe /n,/root,c:\Printers.{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}

In Longhorn, and I suspect Vista, I'd like to know how to do the equivalent.

This should open up 'Printers'

explorer.exe
::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}\::{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}
