Flexviewer popup image hyperlink open folder in windows explorer

I know I have seen this question asked before but I cannot find it. What we are trying to do is use the image hyperlink url in the flexviewer 3.5 popup to open a folder in "Windows Explorer" instead of "Internet Explorer". We have tried several different hyperlink formats and all have been unsuccessful. So can this be done or not is the question.

Methods we have tried:

file://///servername\\location\\{Hyperlink}

file:///\\servername\\location\\{Hyperlink}

file://///L:\{Hyperlink}

file:///\\L:\{Hyperlink}

Plus about 10 others with double backslashes and double forwardslashes,, etc.

Thank you in advance!

Luci

Luci,

Flash Player has tightened security and the ability to access local folders using a UNC (or any means) is no longer available.
