ok i tried this
Environment.SpecialFolder special = Environment.SpecialFolder.MyComputer;
string folderLocation = Environment.GetFolderPath(special);
Process.Start(folderLocation);
but it gives error "Cannot start process because a file name has not been provided"

Process.Start("explorer.exe", "/e, \"" + folderLocation + "\"");
