在Windows资源管理器中打开Windows 7库

Question

How do I open a Windows 7 Library like Documents , Pictures , Music , Videos and all other custom libraries from my app?

I tried opening explorer.exe Libraries\\Documents but it doesn't work.

Answer 1

Find the AppData directory:

Dim appData As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)

Find the documents shortcut and open it in explorer:

For Each file As String In Directory.GetFiles(appData, "Documents.library-ms", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
    Process.Start(file)
Next

Answer 2

Look at this to see how the most common actions are performed on Windows 7 libraries.

Edit:

The sample uses the Windows API Code Pack for Micorosoft .Net Framework [ edit 2015-09-24: previous link is dead - use this SO entry to locate the necessary Nuget packages ] (thanks MarkJ for pointing out that the link should be there).

As for David Heffernan 's question ...

You use the assign the ShellLibrary object to the DefaultDirectoryShellContainer property of an Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Dialogs.CommonFileDialog (eg the Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Dialogs.CommonOpenFileDialog ).

Answer 3

库存储在C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Libraries ，扩展名为.library-ms因此Documents将为Documents.library-ms

Answer 4

The Windows API Code Pack provides managed APIs to interact with Windows 7 libraries. I think it might help.

Answer 5

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);

将MyDocuments替换为您需要的文件夹，查看枚举以查看其中的文件夹。

Answer 6

This is in relation to the comments under LostInLib 's post, as the explanation is too long to put as a comment.

You need to understand the difference between libraries and the documents folder as they are not the same thing. C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\Documents is the default documents folder C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Libraries\\Documents.library-ms is the library named Documents, the library is an index of all the locations you add to it, it doesn't have to be linked to C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\Documents , for example on my network I have it set to \\server\\users\\USERNAME , so when users go to the documents library on the start menu they are redirected to the server share. You can also have more than one location in a library so I could have my docs LOCAL in there AND the server my docs, so when I went to the my docs library it would show both folders in one place, so they would appear to be in the same my docs folder.

So presuming my docs is going to be here is not good as it doesn't have to be C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\Documents , in the same way libraries also dont have to be here C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Libraries\\Documents.library-ms if you redirect your appdata folder eg like on a network your libraries can also be here : \\server\\users\\USERNAME\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Libraries\\Documents.library-ms
