Hi there again,
I was wondering how i could run "My Computer" on Win XP... Can anyone give me a solution
If i'm not clear, what i want is to run Explorer and open it up in the My Computer folder.
With Process.Start(Environment.GetfolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyComputer)) I cannot do it.
Thnx a lot;

ok, i've found it... you can find these settings in the registry...
that's how you can start the Network Places folder:
Process.Start("::{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}")

Private Const MyComputer = "::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"
Private Const RecycleBin = "::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"
Private Const NetworkNeighborhood = "::{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}"
Private Const ControlPanel = "::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
Private Const Printers = "::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\::{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}"

I can't remember where on Earth I ever found out how to do it, I just have it saved in this bag of tricks file. MyComputer has no string representation, what you see up there is a registry key representing MyComputer.
