Programmaticall y open compmgmt.msc

[eSolTec, Inc. 501(c)(3)]

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance. I'm building a technician's
tool and I'm trying to create a Jump Panel of buttons to the Windows System32
folder to open files programmaticall y. I have the majority of the program
files opening except the Microsoft Computer Management console.

I've tried in the button click event
Shell("C:\WINDO WS\system32\com pmgmt.msc")

and nothing happens. No open program, no errors nothing.

Try this:

Shell("C:\WINDO WS\system32\com pmgmt.msc /s")

or you could try using the Process Class

Dim proc as new Process
Dim procSI as new ProcessStartInf o("C:\WINDOWS\s ystem32\compmgm t.msc /s")

proc.StartInfo = procSI
proc.Start()
that should work too

IWDU15,

Thank you for your reply, but it didn't work either.

looking at my post, i think i made a typo....there shouldnt be a "/s" after
the process name...try this instead

Dim proc as new Process
Dim procSI as new ProcessStartInf o("C:\WINDOWS\s ystem32\compmgm t.msc")

proc.StartInfo = procSI
proc.Start()

Well it only has one flaw

what if the user does not have a path

C:\WINDOWS\syst em32\compmgmt.m sc

on one of Computers for instance the windows path is

C:\WIN\system32 \compmgmt.msc

And on another one it is

D:\WIN\system32 \compmgmt.msc

you would better use

System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("compmgmt.ms c")
This will always work ( unless someone messed with the evironment variabels
, however this is not your problem

Or to be completely sure:
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt(Environ("Sys temRoot"&"\syst em32\compmgmt.m sc")

Which will work as long as windows works, so you don't have the
discussion who's problem it is.
