Hi,

If by the temp folder you are referring to the folder which opens when
I type %temp% in the Run field and is located at :

C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Local Settings\Temp

Then you can use the GetEnvironmentVariable method of the Environment
class as :
--------------------------
Dim path As String = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("Temp")
Process.Start(path)
--------------------------

If you mean the Temporary Internet Files folder, then you can simply
use the GetFolderPath method of the Environment class with the Enum
value "InternetCache".

HTH,

Regards,

Cerebrus.
