Thread: Open folder with file(s) selected

I often use the API function ShellExecute to open folders (e.g. via my ]OPEN user command), but I sometimes want a particular file in the folder highlighted. Searching MSDN, I found the SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems function, which is not listed in APLWADF.ini. Has anyone used this function, and if so, can you provide me with instructions for adding the function to the .ini file, and for calling it? Thanks in advance.

Here is an example showing the selection of a SINGLE file.

Œwcall 'ShellExecute' 0 "open" "explorer.exe" "/e,/select,c:\aplwin70\aplwco.dll" 0 "SW_SHOWNORMAL"

Over course the above assumes that "c:\aplwin70\aplwco.dll" or the file of your choice exsists.

Many thanks, Brent! By the way, omitting the /e option opens a window without the folder pane, if that's what you want.
