If you are using MS Windows then you can

winopen('explorer')

Is that what you want to do though? Or do you want to use

[filename, filepath] = uigetfile('Select a file');

So i want to open the explorer at the exact path of the file that i created.

[Walter Roberson]

projectdir = 'C:\Users\Me\Documents\MyProject\';   %adjust as needed

Then try these:

cmd = sprintf('explorer "%s" &', projectdir);
system(cmd)

or

winopen(projectdir)

I think the second of those might be enough.

Yes, the last code line is all you need.

winopen(projectdir) % projectdir is a variable with the folder name in it.

or

winopen('C:/whatever/foo/fubar/snafu'); % Folder is hard coded as a string literal.
