How do you open the Printers folder from code in VB.NET?

No, sorry for the confusion...I'm not trying to print something. I
need the Printers folder that is found in the Control Panel. Go to the
Control Panel and you will see an icon for the Printers Folder. That
is what I need.

You mean the data contained in there? Or actually pop up the Control Panel
applet?

Thanks all!

Herfried, the "shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL main.cpl @2" argument did not
work. It didn't do anything. But tommaso's link gave another argument
that did.
