javascript - Open Folder Explorer from link -


a similar question been asked example here.

anyawy need not open in browser contents on folder, this:

<a href="file:///d:/tools/">open folder</a> 

(bwt above works on chrome, opens d:\tools in machine)

what achieve opening folder explorer @ given address (in case of windows opening windows explorer @ d:\tools.

the scenario is: web application (php) knows folder open, user clicks button , folder opened in folder eplorer. somehow manual workaround is:

  1. display path in browser
  2. the user copies it
  3. user opens folder explorer
  4. user pastes path

i realized using internet explorer behavior desired one:

1) user clicks on

<a href="file:///\\server\files\folder1">\\server\files\folder1</a> 

2) windows explorer opens @ \\server\files\folder1

so want achieve possible in internet explorer (without exploring plugins , tricks). on other browsers clicking on link let browser render read visualization of folder, while using other browsers user can copy link text , paste in folder explorer.

this solution not perfect suits need.
