   example : file://ServerName/file) I just want a button witch open windows explorer
   at the serveur adress target.

   i try with a Maxbutton, nothing happened !
 * Could you help me please ?

 * What opens after visiting the URL is something your system determines. Most browsers
   will probably open some file list in the browser.
 * On second thought, it could also be that some browsers will ignore these kind
