Look at the Process class and just launch the command line "EXPLORER.EXE driveSpec:". For example "EXPLORER.EXE C:".

So, you want an Explorer window with access only to the removable drive?? Cna't do it. Explorer gives you access just like you opened My Computer. You'd have to write your own version of an Explorer window with just the functionality you want.

Hi, Explorer.exe has command line options and it is possible to restrict the view to one path. e.g. to view the c: drive only

explorer.exe /e, /root,c:\
