If this is realy VB.NET - i.e. a web site based solution - then you can't.
The server has no access to the client hardware (except in cases which occur very infrequently) and since VB code runs on the server not the client any file or folder finder would work on the server HDD not the client and browse the Server HDD - a major security risk, even if the web host is set up to allow it, which is not necessarily the case.

In addition to Griff's post...

If its a Windows Forms application, then you can use OpenFileDialog [^]or FolderBrowserDialog[^]
