Hi, i need help opening a folder in vbscrip in a new windows. Can someone help me?

<A HREF="c:\">exemple</A>.


this is not working. always open the folder from localhost

href="c:\ is not a valid location for the HTTP protocol.

How do i go to C:\ then? I can't?

ASP scripts are limited to accessing folders within the context of the server.

This is a security consideration to prevent directory traversal exploits.

What about this?

gopher://<host>:<port>/<gopher-path>
The host indicates the Internet address of the Gopher server, while the port, as in the previous cases, can generally be omitted along with its preceding colon. The gopher-path specifies the type of Gopher resource, a selector string, and perhaps other information. A detailed discussion of Gopher queries is not within the scope of this document, but generally you can determine a document's gopher-path from information provided by your browser.
Example: <A HREF="gopher://ubunix.acsu.buffalo.edu">Gopher at UB</a>

And the gopher URI scheme has what to do with the question?????

I made a mistake, sorry.

There must be a way?

Not if you wan't to maintain some level of security to your server there isn't.

Please clarify,

you mean you want to open explorer to the folder?

Shell "explorer YOUR_PATH"

however, to open in VB use the shell object

Const WINDOW_HANDLE = 0
Const NO_OPTIONS = 0

Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.BrowseForFolder _
    (WINDOW_HANDLE, "Select a folder:", NO_OPTIONS, "C:\Scripts")       
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self

objPath = objFolderItem.Path
objPath = Replace(objPath, "\", "\\")

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colFiles = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_Directory where name = '" & objPath & "'")

For Each objFile in colFiles
    Wscript.Echo "Readable: " & objFile.Readable
Next
