ShellLaunch function

There is HyperLink UI Control, but following your description seems to me ShellLaunch function is what you looking for.

ShellLaunch @"C:\My Pictures\" ""
ShellLaunch @"D:\foo.avi" "/play /loop"

Thanks for your help.
So how Do I set this up. lets say I want to play an avi when I click on certain sphere or dummy object in max from a viewport.
Thanks again.

how deep you know MaxScripting?

Script usually run by clicking a button or hotkey. To "add some action" when an object is selected, you need to play with "events". Take a look in the help docs for Change Handlers and Callbacks.
