    It is partially working , it open just my document folder but not complete path.

    I use the follwing code

    Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Run("explorer C:\Users\manas\Documents\TestComplete 11 Projects\ProjectSuite1"); 

    but it open document folder instead of ProjectSuite1.

    Hi,

     

    I believe this is because the path contains a space.

    Try something like this (note quotes around the path):

    Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Run("explorer ""C:\Users\manas\Documents\TestComplete 11 Projects\ProjectSuite1""");

      What AlexKaras said. If you're using JScript, you need to escape both backslashes in the path and quotes around the path:

       

      Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Run("explorer \"C:\\Users\\manas\\Documents\\TestComplete 11 Projects\\ProjectSuite1\"");

        My bad...

        Not been a JScript guy I would well expect syntax errors. :)

        Thank you for the correction, Helen!
