Hey everyone! I've created an HTML file, kind of like a web browser that contains links to places on our server at work. Example there's a link called Documents that points to the documents folder on the server, and when you click it, from the HTML file, it does indeed open the documents folder it pointed to, on the server. HOWEVER, it opens said directory in the internet browser window...I want it to open in a Windows Explorer window. Is this possible? If not, how can I achieve something like this, maybe using some other kind of program/software. I only know HTML which is why I was trying this.

If I wasn't clear, please let me know. I'll post the actual HTML files and much more details. I have to modify it before I post it because it has some material I cannot share with the rest of the internet! LOL

Please see the FAQ entry How do I force the browser to download a file? How do I force the browser to show/play a file itself? How do I force a file to be opened by a particular program?

You might use the FTP protocol (instead of HTTP), but then maybe you must open the remote directory from Windows Explorer, not a web browser. unsure.gif
