Re: How to open a windows folder ?

How can I open Windows Explorer, and automatically select a file? I see
several software in Delphi can do this, but couldn't found any
documentation about.

Example: I want to open in Windows Explorer the file c:\tmp\file.txt

The function to open the "c:\tmp" folder is posted here, but how can I
do the opened Windows Explorer to "point"/select the "file.txt" file?
Is there a code example?

Thanks in advance

Daniel
