Question

I have a application to list all music files in user machine, a “Explorer” button is using to quickly open Windows Explorer and highlight the file in Windows Explorer. I tried ShellExecute, but it doesn’t work, the API will launch associate application. Any Windows API can do that? Thanks in advance.

You can simply start explorer.exe with the /select argument, as detailed in this Knowledge Base article:

Explorer /select,C:\TestDir\TestApp.exe
