Since it sounds like you're using windows only, I imagine that's OK.
Use fl_open_uri() if you want to open a browser across platforms,
as I think that will work.

It should be OK in this case because explorer is a windows app,
and therefore doesn't block, so system() will return immediately.
However, with system() you'll get a black DOS window flashing open
briefly before the explorer window opens if your app was linked
as a windows app (eg. /SUBSYSTEM:windows)
You won't get that though if your app is compiled as a console app
(eg. /SUBSYSTEM:console)

Hmm, is the third slash needed?
I think everything after "file://" is the pathname, so you'd only have
triple slashes for an absolute unix path, eg. file://<unixpath>, or
file:///usr/local
For a windows mapped drive path that has no leading slash,
I think it'd just be e.g. file://<mappedpath>, or file://c:whatever
Probably both work, but I think two slashes followed by the path is
correct.
