Note, the user may have redefined the default window for windows explorer, so simply opening “” using Process.Start or IShellDispatch.Open is not going to be acceptable.

I figured this would be trivial, but I’ve lost a day trying to find an example. Note, the Libraries folder is a known folder with a folder id of FOLDERID_Libraries. Opening up using the associated GUID for FOLDERID_Libraries using

  Process.Start("explorer.exe", "::{1B3EA5DC-B587-4786-B4EF-BD1DC332AEAE}")

opened “My Documents” instead.

While VB.NET or C# would be preferred, I can engineer a solution from almost any language.

Many thank,

Tom
