I'd like to know if there is a VB code that will open a folder the way you use theses ShellExec Commands...BUT the folder ipes up to specific View Settings namely Extra Large all the time. I tried saving it but the settings eventually go to something else.  Also some folders I want the icons to be in List View and others in Extra Large view... Can you also make the window that opens up have a specific Groupby setting all the time?

Found on another Forum. I haven't tested this.
