The code you show won't even compile.
You should explain more what it is you want to do and then someone can help you.
The information you have provided is not enough.

It won't compile because there is error at "*.lnk". What I want is, when process start the specific directory, in that directory only able to see shortcut file. So how to do that?
@"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs", "*.lnk";

Not exactly sure what you want to do, but if you want to filter out files with a specific extension in a directory you should use Directory.GetFiles[^]

Something like this, but I don't think anyone would be happy with a functionality like this. :-P

C#

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string path = @"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs";
    foreach (string fileName in Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.lnk"))
    {
        Process.Start(fileName);
    }
}
