Access 2000, Win XP

I have a form with a Listbox control which shows a list of files in a
particular folder on the Server PC (via a network). I want to be able
to click a button on the form and open a window on the same folder so
that I can move, copy, delete, etc the files in the folder. The full
pathname to the selected folder is stored in a Text box on the form.

In other words, I want the button to simulate the operation of :-
minimizing the Access window, navigating to the folder on the Server
PC and opening a window on the same folder (which is what I have to do
at the moment if I want to change anything in the folder). To return
to the database I can just click on the Access button on the Task Bar.

What code would I need to do this (if it's even possible).

TIA

Peter Hibbs.
