I have a requirement related to opening Windows explorer on clicking Network (UNC) path.
We already have network file paths stored in a ServiceNow table.
This UNC path would be displayed on a catalog item form and when user clicks on the path it should open the windows explorer and not the browser. Please suggest the best way to achieve it.

Use the content Items and define the path in URL Field , where you need re-direct
Use this in Url :"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"http---ur url

No, I need it on catalog item. Based on a selection of reference field, path populates and when user clicks on it, it should open the path in windows explorer.
So i want to know how to open it automatically in windows explorer

Hi @Developer3
Try using Macros on the catalog Item to open a windows explorer
Let me know if you need more information on the macros https://docs.servicenow.com/en-US/bundle/tokyo-application-development/page/script/server-scripting/...
