My Computer

[stilllearning]

I can open 'My Computer' using: -

Run("explorer.exe /e,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}")

Can anyone tell me how to expand the path so that I can open a folder within 'My Computer'?

Run("explorer.exe /e,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\folder name") doesn't work

Hello,

try::

Run("explorer.exe /e c:\windows") ;or path you wish to navigate to.

Thanks for that.

Improved ca be done in one line only without using the CLSID codes.

$path = "C:\Windows"
$path_2 = "D:\"
Run("explorer.exe " & $path, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
Run("explorer.exe " & $path_2, "", @SW_MINIMIZE)

check your help file for CLSID List.

Could always just use ShellExecute("C:\WINDOWS")

Could always just use ShellExecute("C:\WINDOWS")

Or eliminate the hard-wired folder using @WindowsDir

Windows could be installed on H:

Another way to skin the cat without using the CLSID is to use

explorer /select,C:

should open MyComputer with the side panel(if that's what the user's settings indicate)

and C: drive highlighted.
