I would like to use Matlab 2014a to open a protected windows explorer folder by signing in as a specified/defined user (this user is different from the windows account user). Is this possible?

Do you have any recommendations on how to do this on a Windows machine?

You may consider using the following command to open a folder :

[~, userdir] = system('echo %USERPROFILE%')

Please also note that you can use the "winopen" command:

In addition the following file exchange submission called "explore.m" may also be helpful:
