I thought that this should be possible with 2.1 syntax, but I think I am
overlooking something small...
How can I create a link so a Windows Explorer opens to a (network)drive?
For example:
[[Open Temp>>unc:c:\temp\]]

Not sure why you use unc since c:\temp\ does not looks like unc path to me.
[[Open Temp>>file://c:\temp\]] seems to work well for me (at least on Firefox).

UNC is supposed to be supported in XWiki Syntax 2.1.
Our documentation gives the following examples
(from http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/XWikiSyntax):
unc:C:\Windows\
unc:\\myserver\path\img.png
unc:home/user/somefile
What happens when you click on your link?
Note that I've checked the unit test I wrote for this:
[[unc:\\myserver\myshare\mydoc.txt]]
generates in HTML:
<a href="file://///myserver/myshare/mydoc.txt">...
The algorithm I coded is this one:
// Transform the UNC reference into a file URL of the format:
file://///myserver/myshare/mydoc.txt
// i.e. replace all "\" chars by "/" and prefix with
"file:///".
String fileURL = "file:///" +
reference.getReference().replaceAll("\\\\", "/");
Let me know what doesn't work.
Thanks

That's the strange thing...
...nothing happens when I click these links!
We are using XWIKI 4.0 with IE9.0, but Google Chrome is not working either.
It used to work when we were still on XWIki 3.2

What could be blocking the opening of a Windows Explorer window?

Certainly a bad link ... What's the URL generated ? (the one you see
when hovering the link)

[[Open Temp>>file://c:/temp/]]
renders as
file:///c:/temp/
So tripple forwardslash...no forwardslash is converted to backslash

Well, I have the same symptoms with IE8 & Firefox13.
Links do not open, though using same url in browser address field
opens the location as expected.
I wonder if it could be some restriction of recent browser for opening
local paths ...

Succes!
After adding our wiki to the Trusted Sites section, the opening of Windows
Explorer works again!
