If you input the path to the folder, it'll open in explorer. The file picker won't let you pick a folder, but you can either pick a file in the target folder and delete the file and extension off the end, or paste the path without using the picker.

Code: [Select]
Run application 'C:\Windows\'
Just like you'd open anything with the assigned default application.
