hi,

is it possible to open a windows explorer window through an html link, preferably without javascript but not a problem if thats the only solution?

i've tried file///:foldername etc...

this works if i copy and paste the link into the browser address bar but not if i click on a link which calls it.

Any ideas would be appreciated
Thanks

It works if the HTML page with the link is stored on the users computer (your example lacks the drive letter, though, but you can also use relative paths).

I recall it used to work from online pages too, but IIRC this was disabled a few years ago for security reasons.

thank you. I was running through the debug of vs2005 and it couldnt find the page.

works fine now i run it from my desktop
