I was wondering if anybody knows how to open Windows Desktop Icon Settings in Visual Basic.

The path to the Desktop Icon settings is: Control Panel, Appearance and Personalization, Personalization, Change Desktop Icons (located in the left hand side panel).

Thanks
Will

You can try executing "rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,0" command. You can replace the last 0 with 1, 2, 3, 4 for changing tabs. You have to run this as if you are trying to run any other executable file from your code.
