Hello. Sorry for being such a Visual Basic newbie, but how would I launch a standard Windows Explorer window to a the root directory of the program that is running from that program? For instance, say "mux.exe" is running. What code what I need in order to create a new Windows Explorer window that shows whatever directory "mux.exe" is in--like if "mux.exe" was located at C:\mux\mux.exe, it would open up a Windows Explorer window that is showing C:\mux.

Any help would be appreciated... as I just learned the "End" command today.

Shell "explorer.exe c:\mux", vbNormalFocus

Wow, thx for the timely response, but should it be:
---
Shell "explorer.exe c:\mux"
vbNormalFocus
---
Or as you typed it, in one line: --- Shell "explorer.exe c:\mux", vbNormalFocus ---?

And what if the program is running from a CD, whose drive letter I may NOT know: is it E or F or even G, etc. So is there a command to just go to the root of the program, the folder that the active program is running from?

Thx.
