I was trying to find in the help of maxscipt the way of open a file with windows explorer.
searching for it on the help
i serach in
3ds Max File Loading and Saving
and
External File Methods
but a i got is get files…
is a simple way to open a window true explorer by maxscript.
Sorry for the question but i been seraxching for a while without any good result.
Check the “Standard Open and Save File Dialogs” Section of the Maxscript Help.

This will open an explorer window
doscommand "explorer"
and this opens one directed at my max 9 root directory
doscommand "explorer \"c:\\Program Files\\Autodesk\\3ds Max 9\\\""
edit:Sorry, maybe I misunderstood the post
shellLaunch “explorer.exe” “c:\ emp\somefolder”
will open Windows Explorer at C:\Temp\SomeFolder (if it exists).
I guess what he needs all depends on what he is trying to do with the dialog.

thanks bobo that what i was looking exactly for.
Pixel_monkey:
i used
getOpenFileName and getSaveFileName in other part of the script for save ini files .
But I just want ti to open a folder where previously i have created skin files and ini files.Sometimes i need to edit the ini files or check if all skin envelopes are been save properly.
It,s easier if I can open the folder automactly instead to have to go out of max and look for the folder.
thanks for al th quick reply , i will keep working.
