    Explorer - Open Folder but hide navigation and path display

    when a user clicks on a particular button in my vb.net application i want to force windows to open the folder for viewing / modifiying the content outside of my application.

    Process.Start("explorer.exe","\\servername\share\folder\etc\")

    when when the folder opens i do not want to see the naviagation bar at the top. i just want the folder without the ability to copy the <path> or naviagate <up>

    thanks

    - kurt

    You would probably be off better making a form with a listview on it in "Icon" mode. With this you could parse the directory and add items to it and when the user double clicks it, you could use the Process.Start to have windows figure out what application opens the file.
