How do I link a specific folder to open by pressing action button from my presentation?

I tried to open a specific folder from my presentation by pressing a button with the action command. I used the execute program option from the action settings and told it to open explorer.exe and gave it the path address.

It works at first and opens the right view from explorer, but the problem is that after I close the presentation and reopen it, it doesn't work anymore. Any solution or reason why this happens?? I'm using PP 2013.

For example I've used this kind of command:

explorer.exe path,C:\Material\File view a want to open

Try

Insert > Hyperlink

Existing file / web page and point the link at the FOLDER you need

"Your" way made sense but link to URL is the way
