Programmatically open compmgmt.mscThank 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 programmatically. 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:\WINDOWS\system32\compmgmt.msc") and nothing happens. No open program, no errors nothing. Michael eSolTec wrote:

Dim proc as new Process Dim procSI as new ProcessStartInfo("C:\WINDOWS\system32\compmgmt.msc /s") proc.StartInfo = procSI proc.Start() that should work too -- -iwdu15 IWDU15,
Thank you for your reply, but it didn't work either.

the process name...try this instead Dim proc as new Process Dim procSI as new ProcessStartInfo("C:\WINDOWS\system32\compmgmt.msc") proc.StartInfo = procSI proc.Start() -- -iwdu15 T,

what if the user does not have a path C:\WINDOWS\system32\compmgmt.msc 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.Diagnostics.Process.Start("compmgmt.msc") This will always work ( unless someone messed with the evironment variabels , however this is not your problem regards Michel Posseth [MCP] "eSolTec, Inc. 501(c)(3)" <eSolTecInc50***@discussions.microsoft.com> schreef in bericht Show quoteHide quote news:43035E6F-81CE-4041-B4D3-DD44FFAC3273@microsoft.com... > Thank you everyone, but especially thank you Theo.

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Environ("SystemRoot"&"\system32\compmgmt.msc") Which will work as long as windows works, so you don't have the discussion who's problem it is.

the path environment variabel always points to system32 start , configuration , system , advanced tab , environment variabels otherwise all executables that are located there wouldn`t start withoput explicitly calling them with there full location cmd , msconfig , ping etc etc etc etc etc so in my opinion it is not necesary to call them with there full path as someone has then messed so much with windows that it wouldn`t even run properly ( maybe cripled ) I wonder what will happen with Environ("SystemRoot") when you change the path settings :-) regards Michel Posseth [MCP] Show quoteHide quote "Theo Verweij" wrote: > Or to be completely sure: > System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Environ("SystemRoot"&"\system32\compmgmt.msc") > > Which will work as long as windows works, so you don't have the > discussion who's problem it is. > > > Michel Posseth [MCP] wrote: > > Well it only has one flaw > > > > what if the user does not have a path > > > > C:\WINDOWS\system32\compmgmt.msc > > > > 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.Diagnostics.Process.Start("compmgmt.msc") > > > > > > This will always work ( unless someone messed with the evironment variabels > > , however this is not your problem > > > > regards > > > > Michel Posseth [MCP] > > > > > > "eSolTec, Inc. 501(c)(3)" <eSolTecInc50***@discussions.microsoft.com> > > schreef in bericht > > news:43035E6F-81CE-4041-B4D3-DD44FFAC3273@microsoft.com... > >> Thank you everyone, but especially thank you Theo.
