Hello,

you could use Process.Start:

Dim procstart As New ProcessStartInfo("explorer")
Dim winDir As String =
System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Environment.SystemDirectory) + "\tasks"
procstart.Arguments = winDir
Process.Start(procstart)

i usually just shell it out explore.exe "c:\"

oh wait a second some dipshit decided that is too dangerous right?

Thank god for Visual FRED
