Is there a VFP command without using RUN ?

In my VFP9 application I use yy='explorer /e,/select, '+x2 where x2 is a
variable folder. Then I issue RUN /N &yy. I would like to know if there is
another way of invoking the explorer and have it open a given folder. I ask
because my whole application runs with impersonation, that means that the
user behind running the application is not the same as the Windows user.
With that impersonation my command described above does not do anything. It
doesn't give an error, but it does not open any explorer, nothing.

Hi, one way I use (from an earlier post) is to call a program with a
parameter for Url as below:

PARAMETER loption
DO CASE
CASE loption=3D1
MyURL=3D"http://www 1 etc/"
CASE loption=3D2
MyURL=3D"http://www 2 etc"
ENDCASE

aObj=3DCreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
aObj.visible =3D .T.
aObj.navigate("&MyURL")
*aObj.quit && will shut down IE

RETURN

In addition to Bruce's comment - you can use ShellExecute()
instead of !|RUN.

Your case is a special one though, since explorer.exe refuses
to "run as..." in a secondary instance with elevated privileges.
On WinXP with Internet Explorer 6, you can start iexplore.exe
instead.
With IE7, that does not work either but you can use the /separate
switch, e.g.:
%windir%\system32\runas.exe /user:admin "explorer /separate,c:\"

I use
ShellExec(X2)

Function ShellExec
Lparameter lcLink, lcAction, lcParms
lcAction = Iif(Empty(lcAction), "Open", lcAction)
lcParms = Iif(Empty(lcParms), "", lcParms)

Declare Integer ShellExecute ;
IN SHELL32.Dll ;
INTEGER nWinHandle, ;
STRING cOperation, ;
STRING cFileName, ;
STRING cParameters, ;
STRING cDirectory, ;
INTEGER nShowWindow

Declare Integer FindWindow ;
IN WIN32API ;
STRING cNull,String cWinName

Return ShellExecute(FindWindow(0, _Screen.Caption), ;
lcAction, lcLink, ;
lcParms, Sys(2023), 1)
