How to open Windows Explorer via link


I am trying to make a link in an email that will open Windows Explorer and go directly to the given path. I have tried <a href="file:remoteservername/C:/folder1/folder2/folder3">Link</a>, but it opens Internet Explorer and does not open that path.


Solution

  • Ok. I got it. My mistake was that I wrote whole path to the folder. That wasn't necessary. All I had to do was "file://///servername/folder3 and not "file://///servername/folder1/folder2/folder3". Thanks for all your suggestions and comments.
