Open windows explorer from .NET desktop app

[Mark]

I'd like to open up Windows Explorer from my .NET desktop application to a
specific path. I essentially want to execute:

%Systemroot%\explorer.exe c:\somepath\

How can this be done? Thanks in advance.

Mark:

Imports System.Diagnostics

Class Explorer

Public Shared Sub StartExplorer(ByVal folder As String)
Dim sExplorerEXE As String = String.Format("{0}\explorer.exe",
Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("windir"))
Dim info As New ProcessStartInfo(sExplorerEXE)
info.Arguments = "/n," + folder
Process.Start(info)
End Sub

End Class
