      Hello,

      you could use Process.Start:

      Dim procstart As New ProcessStartInf o("explorer")
      Dim winDir As String =
      System.IO.Path. GetDirectoryNam e(Environment.S ystemDirectory) + "\tasks"
      procstart.Argum ents = winDir
      Process.Start(p rocstart)

              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
