What's the shell for "My Computer"

My Computer is just an IE/Windows Explorer page and does not actually exist so you cannot just launch it. However, you could in theory shell internet explorer and "ask" it for my computer.

You can, programmatically, open My Computer, from VB, using the Common Dialog control.

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
With CommonDialog1
   .CancelError = True
   .InitDir = "::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"
   .DialogTitle = "My Computer"
   .ShowOpen
End With
End Sub

Well, its not exacly the "My Computer"...

I did something ressembling to the My computer:

WebBrowser in microsoft internet controls,

VB Code:

WebBrowser.navigate "c:\"
