And going one step farther, what's the purpose of using Explorer to open the 
directory? Can the user add new files to the directory? Can the user update 
those files? Delete them? Rename them?

You used the phrase "view all attachments". If that's close to the real 
requirement then allowing the user unrestricted access is maybe not what you 
want. If you want the user to be able to see them all, then why not just 
produce a web page that contains links to the files? These links would have to 
point to something like a servlet that could serve up the file, since these IFS 
directories probably aren't going to be in the scope of your web application.

OK, here's my situation...I'm getting ready to roll out an electronic 
requisition system...for each individual requsition there are attachments that 
go along with that...these can range from pictures to word documents to excel 
spreadsheets, etc...what happens is whenever a new req is created, I create a 
new folder on the IFS with the req number as the folder name (ex. 105373)...I 
have an option on the main menu of the application to view all attachments for 
a req number... 

what I'd like to do is open up windows explorer and have it default to that 
location on the IFS...for example running the DOS command on a user's PC like 
so:
explorer.exe \\nal820.flora.nal.com\eReqs\attachments\105373\
