Call to explorer.exe opens IE instead

[Guest]

I'm trying to issue the following VBA command within
Access XP that should open a folder that resides on a
linux web server

C:\WINDOWS\explorer /root,HTTP://nw.pima.edu\~it\manage\K
But, when it executes, Internet Explorer opens instead
(with the specified folder's contents displayed in the
browser's window)

I can use My Network Places to boil down to the same
location, but I need a button on an Access form to take
me straight there with the ability to add, edit, and
delete files

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi;
The culprit part is the INTERNET related command:
HTTP://nw.

By just typing it, you get the underline and it turns blue

By itself it initiate "iexplore.exe"
That's "built-in integration" between explorer.exe and iexplore.exe.

ftp://nw.
does the same.
