Opening a desktop folder from within IDL [message #64491]

From within IDL (without using a DLL) is it possible to open up a
given folder on the desktop?

I know that on Mac OSX, you can do this
spawn, 'open /Users/'
spawn, 'open ' + complete_path

What would the equivalent Windows and Linux commands be?

I am interested in doing this so I can give users a GUI button that
quickly opens a "target" directory where output files are written.

Thanks, M.
