Why would you want/need to do such a task. Sounds like something malicious to me

you can do this by editing the registry (on hklm hklu->software->microsoft->windows->currentversion->policies->explorer). there are lots of sample codes in net on how to edit registry through vb.net.

after editing registry, you need to restart the explorer (end process in task manager (explorer). then rerun again (click start-> run -> type the exlorer and press enter))
