create a link to open a windows explorer window

[natan.zimand]

it is easy enough to create a link to open a specific file, but is it
possible to include a link in an email to open a windows explorer
window in a specific folder?

i should add one more complicating factor, and that is that FireFox is
my default browser. the link worked exactly as expected with IE as my
default browser.

the format would be similar to \\beta2\my music\ where beta2 is the computer
name and my music is the folder, you may have to put <> around the statement
and obviously the recipient will need permission and accessibility to the
path for it to work

Sorry this being an Outlook newsgroup I thought you were referring to a link
in an email!
