Opening Admin Control + others from a button

**jokerfool** · Oct 19th, 2019, 12:15 AM

So I have a lot of different controls I am trying to run from a button that are shortcuts to different Windows 10 operations including opening Admin Control from a button.

This is the code I've used from the button

Code:

 System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
            proc.EnableRaisingEvents = false;
            proc.StartInfo.FileName = "control admintools";
            proc.Start();

This is the error I get

Code:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception' occurred in System.dll
The system cannot find the file specified

I didn't know how to run the command from within C# and did Google many different variations of trying to open these commands.

However on using the Computer Management

Code:

 System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
            proc.EnableRaisingEvents = false;
            proc.StartInfo.FileName = "compmgmt.msc";
            proc.Start();

When I run this I don't get an error and the section opens.

Can someone please provide some help on this, do I need to change how to open these files?

Thank you.
