Hi,
I deployed ASP.Net ( Framework4) in iis6.0 on Windows2003 server.
Every thing in application is working fine except the following:

System.diagnostics.process.start("explorer.exe","D:\path")

Actually i want to open one folder on button click,
In my local system it was working fine.
but after deployment it is not working in iis
Can you please suggest me how to solve this problem?

Thanks,
Thirupathi Reddy .

wouldn't that be a serious security leak?

It won't work at all. IIS runs under a different desktop than the web server you were running on your dev machine.

That code will only launch an explorer window on the server, not the client. That window will be on an invisible desktop that no user will ever see.

How many times are uyou going to ask the same question? This makes at LEAST the third time.

IIS RUNS AS A WINDOWS SERVICE. YOU CAN'T RUN AN APPLICATION WITH A GUI FROM A WINDOWS SERVICE. PERIOD. THE END.

This is the SECOND time I've told you this.
