I am trying to make a link in an email that will open Windows Explorer and go directly to the given path. I have tried <a href="file:remoteservername/C:/folder1/folder2/folder3">Link</a>, but it opens Internet Explorer and does not open that path.

I doubt that there is a standards conforming way to generate an URL that works on all major mail clients and just opens the Windows Explorer (or worse: runs any other program). – Dr. Jan-Philip Gehrcke Feb 06 '14 at 09:12

Ok. I got it. My mistake was that I wrote whole path to the folder. That wasn't necessary. All I had to do was "file://///servername/folder3 and not "file://///servername/folder1/folder2/folder3". Thanks for all your suggestions and comments.
