[dba-VB] VB6 Shell

Hi Bill:

Why not try something like this:

Call ShellExecute(0&, "Open", "explorer.exe", "/e,/n,c:\", 0&,
SW_SHOWNORMAL)

Do any VB6 programmers know how to use the shell to run a systems app
such as explorer?  The "target" was copied from my desktop shortcut but
doesn't work - I must be missing some syntax???

Private Sub Command1_Click()
   RetVal = Shell("%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe", vbMaximizedFocus)
End Sub

Thanks,
