Open a folder using Process.Start

Question

I saw the other topic and I\'m having another problem. The process is starting (saw at task manager) but the folder is not opening on my screen. What\'s wrong?

Answer 1

Just for completeness, if all you want to do is to open a folder, use this:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo() {
    FileName = "C:\\teste\\",
    UseShellExecute = true,
    Verb = "open"
});

Ensure FileName ends with Path.DirectorySeparatorChar to make it unambiguously point to a folder. (Thanks to @binki.)

This solution won't work for opening a folder and selecting an item, since there doesn't seem a verb for that.
