how could i open a folder window on desktop with given path?

I can do it by this way:

Shell("cmd.exe","/c start "&pathname)

but it will pop up a black cmd box,so noisy,

is there a silent way to open a folder window?

thanks.

What do you want to do with it?
alternative is Shell("explorer.exe",apppath)

I don't understand the concept of a silent folder window. What would it look like and how would it behave to interactions?

sorry for my poor english.

I just thought the flash of a black dos window is not silent in vision;-)

It does work.

I only need to open a folder window on desktop.

explorer.exe works more smoothly than cmd.exe ,haha!
