I dont't want to show the C:\ Folder, but its parent.

In german this is called "Arbeitsplatz". It's the folder where i can
see all my drives in.
The strange thing is: If i type "Arbeitsplatz" in the URL-Box of my
InternetExplorer, i can see the folder, but if i try the command
WebBrowser1.Navigate("Arbeitsplatz"); nothing happens.

You are looking for desktop folder. It is not a parent of C:\, but
rather is usually located under C:\Documents and Settings\your_user_name\
One way to discover its exact path is to use Win32 API function
SHGetSpecialFolderPath(..., CSIDL_DESKTOP, ...) importing it from shell32.dll.
