CF opener/ Is this code right?

Hey i makeing a Crossfire NA opener "Patcher_CF" and i wanna know if this code is right or whats wrong with it?
Opener:

Code:

 Try
            Shell("cf_Patcher.exe")
            MsgBox("CrossFire Launched Success Made by @Stanman08")
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox("Please Put Launcher On Crossfire Folder", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, "Made By: @Stanman08")
        End Try

Browse For path to open CF without putting in folder:

Code:

  OpenFileDialog2.Filter = "Exe files | *.exe"
        OpenFileDialog2.ShowDialog()
        GhostTextBox1.Text = OpenFileDialog2.FileName

OpenFileDialog2:

Code:

 Dim OFD As New OpenFileDialog
        If Not OFD.ShowDialog = DialogResult.Cancel Then
            GhostTextBox1.Text = System****.Path.GetFileName(OFD.FileName)
        End If

I want it so u dont have to put it in CF folders and you browse for the path like C:/Program/Z8Games/Crossfire/Patcher_CF
Help?

OpenFileDialog will let you choose the file to run/ do whatever you want.

Get its String from ofDialog.FileName (OpenFileDialog Object).

Use Process.Start(xxx) to run, profit?

            MsgBox("CrossFire Launched Success Made by 
 @Stanman08
")
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox("Please Put Launcher On Crossfire Folder", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, "Made By: 
 @Stanman08
")
        End Try

Erm... you need to learn VB. He already answered your question... OpenFileDialog

So basically, you want the filedialog to show a directory right when it pops up?

Just do

Code:

OpenFileDialog2.InitialDirectory = "C:/Program/Z8Games/Crossfire/Patcher_CF"
OpenFileDialog2.ShowDialog()
GhostTextBox1.Text = OpenFileDialog2.FileName

this is not the correct way of doing things, not everyone has the same installation folder / C drive / Program files, etc

Of course, but I think that this is what he's asking.

I was talking in general, to the thread/op, saying that because he shouldn't do it (in case it is what he wants)
