peter1234 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 go0b3r, I am not sure just what you want, but this will open a folder and make it the current folder: FileChangeDir("C:\more\and more\even more") I think that might be what you are looking for.

pecloe Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 (edited) try this Run("C:\Windows\EXPLORER.EXE" & " " & "C:\Program Files\") edit replace "C:\Program Files\" with the path of the folder you wish to open.
