Downloads - Link to a share/folder possible?

[PaulV]

I was wondering if this is possible.

In our organization, we have a share setup on one of our Windows servers. This share houses many drivers, documentation for printers etc.

Would it be possible to modify the downloads module so that when a user clicks the "Download" button, a shared folder will pop up in a new window? There is a "link to file" option but this will not work with just a directory (I know this technically isn't 'downloading', but it would be convenient for us if the download button could activate a hyperlink). This is probably all we would use the Download module for.

Any tips?

As an alternative I suppose we could just create a .lnk file to each shared folder, which would be downloaded and run... but that's an extra step.

Thanks in Advance!
