Google Chrome Frame - Open local links in Windows Explorer

Question

I can open local links (file://) in remote sites, which are defined as trusted in registry, from IE using Windows Explorer. That's fine for me.

Now I want to do it in GCF, too. Neither of the following worked. Any ideas?

1.clicking on

<a target='_blank' rel='noreferrer' href='file:///C:/'>Open Folder</a> 

2.clicking on

<div target='_blank' rel='noreferrer' onclick='window.open("file:///C:/")'>Open Folder</div>

3.Tried to install a .crx extension that uses a NPAPI plugin to access local files using this method: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/external_extensions.html#registry (Extension worked in Chrome but not in GCF)

4.Haven't tried the Flash solution. Is it possible using Flash to open Windows Explorer on specified folder or directly open .doc files with Microsoft Word like IE does when clicking on .doc files.

Thanks.
