Answer 1

Alain's answer works.

<'a href="FOLDER_PATH" target="_explorer.exe">Link Text<'/a>

I removed the tick marks at the beginning and end, and found that it works in

• Internet Explorer - opens a Windows Explorer window

• Firefox (Windows and Linux), but opens a new tab - same as target="_blank"

• Chrome - opens a new tab like Firefox

I also noticed that / and \ (forward and backward slashes) are equal in html links - they can even be mixed.
