    Hi Bala,

    If you mean opening a folder in Windows Explorer, you can do it like this:

     

    // JScript
Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Run("explorer D:\\Testing\\Automation\\");

    (If this is now what you mean, please clarify.)

    By the way, what exactly task are you trying to automate? There's probably a way to do this without involving Explorer. Explorer can be tricky to automate, because its GUI differs across various Windows versions.
