I'm building a local "website" for myself where I have a collection of links that lead to specific items on my PC. Right now, when I click on a link the folder opens, but it does so within the browser.

Is it possible for the links to open a Windows explorer window, and not as a site in a browser?

So far, this site should only work in Windows, not Mac, but it wouldn't be wrong if it works in both.

Thank you.

  • if you have to open a file out of browser you can do that with @Andy answer, but open folder out of browser, don't think... – Harmeet Singh Aug 03 '12 at 15:43
