If I have understood the question correctly (and if it's still relevant), I think this should be what you want to do:

VB

Imports System.Threading

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Process.Start(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyComputer))
    End Sub

End Class

Solution 3

Just add the following code into your button:

Process.Start("explorer.exe", "Path of your file/Folder")
