Okay I got it working and I'm very happy with the result! I'll share what I
did incase anyone else is interested in doing this. Note that the links
don't work in Firefox (the file:// part doesn't seem to generate). My users
only use IE so I didn't really explore this problem, but you can play around
with it to get it working. Also, the user has to have access to the
directory so this is only useful on an Intranet with networked drives.
First step install the PHP Macro, then copy/paste this code in your page
making sure you change the desired drive.

{{html}}
<table id="formList" class="grid sortable filterable doOddEven"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr class="sortHeader">
<th>Form Name</th>
<th>Path</th>
</tr>
<?php
$dirname = "R:/Quality/FORMS/";
$dir = opendir($dirname);
while(false != ($file = readdir($dir)))
{
if(($file != ".") and ($file != ".."))
{
echo("<tr> <td>$file </td>");
echo("<td> $dirname$file Open Form </td> </tr>");
}
}
?>
</table>
{{/html}}
{{/php}}
This results in a filterable table with a list of all the files in the
directory and subfolders of it with the file names in the left column and a
link to open the file in the right column.
