Answer 1

You shouldn't try to run "Explorer.exe" directly. For starters, you don't know if it is actually in "C:\Windows".

Instead, specify that you want to use the shell to open "D:\" like so:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(
    new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo {
        FileName        = "D:\\",
        UseShellExecute = true,
        Verb            = "open" });
