Open file/folder location in Windows Explorer

There has been always the need of opening the file/folder location in windows explorer, but I guess every application uses the trick of doing it through "System Exec.vi" or "Open URL" or Win32 API.  There is no LabVIEW native function to directly open folder/files in windows explorer directly.

 

Below threads discusses various methods to achieve this...

It would be nice if LabVIEW comes with some native function like below

Apologize me.  My intention was to put his up in LabVIEW Idea Exchange, but due to some errors it ended up here.
