I am looking for help on how to open a folder from the the start menu. Do not want to run a program just want to open a folder that has documents files in it.

Here is what I have using your example.

CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\FDS\Documents" ExecShell open "$STARTMENU\FDS\Docs"

it opens the Windows open with select window.
