If you set UseShellExecute to true, then you can use Process to open a directory. For example, this will open the C:\ drive. You can specify any path you want.

Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
process.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\";
process.Start();

This is similar to using the Run dialog from the start menu. For instance, even though a Word document is not a program, using Shell Execute will allow you to "Start" a word document by using whatever program is associated with it. Likewise the same with a directory.
