Do u have any idea that how i can use this on Windows XP.

@KravvitzSep 27.2007 — Did you actually try it or did you just see that XP isn't listed as a version of Windows that it works in?

I tried it in WinXP myself and it seemed to work (though it wasn't from a web page).

@contactrajiv08authorSep 27.2007 — I have tried this actually, i tried this in project first on jsp page but it didn't run then i tried this on a simple html page it is not running here also.When i tried this on my jsp page then it was looking for the file in my project's context, and on html it takes path as saved html files path and given path.

@KravvitzSep 27.2007 — I can't seem to get it to work from a web page either.

This works:
<a href="file:///c:/windows/explorer.exe">launch explorer</a>
but I can't get it to work when I add the parameter to it:
<a href="file:///c:/windows/explorer.exe%20/select,c:/temp/temp2.html">go here</a>

Success!
