Open Explorer to Network Neighborhood/Network Places
-
I've read lots of stuff about opening Windows Explorer using command line arguments. Task http://www.createwindow.com/raewebsite/rae-2ex1.htm as an example. But how would I open Windows Explorer to Network Neighborhood or My Network Places? Any good ideas? I don't see an environment variable that might point me to such a place.

Those aren't paths in the file system, so you'll need to find the GUIDs of the relevant namespace extensions. For ex this will open a window on My Documents:

Not that I know of, however you can look at the various NameSpace keys to find the extensions that are installed, such as: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel\NameSpace HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\NetworkNeighborhood\NameSpace --Mike-- Ericahist | CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber Kosh reminded me of some of the prima-donna programmers I've worked with. Knew everything but when you asked them a question; never gave you a straight answer. -- Michael P. Butler in the Lounge
