Create a new object on the dock. Go to its dock properties.

Now, either for the link value, enter the folder name, like C:\program files for the link field and leave the arguments field blank

Or

specify explorer.exe as the link value, and put the folder name in the arguments field

There may be another way, but this works for me..........

Right click Dock icon, select Dock Item Properties.........
"LINK" = explorer.exe
"ARGUMENTS" = c:\Program Files   (for example)

Hope that helps.
