If you're restricted to a pure ActionScript solution you'll have to use getURL("file://c:\\windows") but that will use your default browser to open the folder. If you use fscommands then you have more options. The easiest is to put the following line in a BAT file, put the BAT file in your fscommand folder (beside your EXE) and then EXEC the BATfile from Flash. If you need to open different locations you can create a different BAT file for each folder you want to open and EXEC it when you need to open that folder.


explorer.exe c:\windows

I just used C:\windows because it was an easy example but the folder has to be on a drive somewhere. You can use relative paths in the BAT file. Just remember that the paths are relative to the location of the BAT file, not relative to your EXE.
