I wanna open a folder in explorer from my app, i guess i need to use the spawn function, but all it does is open explorer in c:\, without the folder i want to open. This is my command: _spawnlp(_P_NOWAIT,"explorer.exe,"c:\\windows",NULL); ive also tried: _spawnlp(_P_NOWAIT,"explorer.exe,"c:\windows",NULL); _spawnlp(_P_NOWAIT,"explorer.exe,"c:/windows",NULL); _spawnlp(_P_NOWAIT,"explorer.exe,"c://windows",NULL); with no luck... (running Win95, using MFC and vc5)

You need to call _spawnlp like this:
_spawnlp(_P_NOWAIT, "explorer.exe", "explorer.exe", "c:\\windows", NULL);
