Hi Hartmut, this is Kimberly, an independent advisor, I'm glad to assist you today.
If your goal is simply to launch Edge with a specific page (which can mimic Explorer view if you're pointing to a file system URI), you can do:
Sub LaunchEdge()
Dim url As String
url = "microsoft-edge:file:///C:\Your\Folder\Path\" ' or a web URL
Shell "cmd /c start " & url, vbNormalFocus
End Sub
This works because Edge recognizes microsoft-edge: protocol URIs.
This will open Edge directly, navigating to the folder path or website you specify.
Should you have questions, please let me know.
Best regards,
Kimberly
