Use forward slashes, browsers read virtual addresses.
window.location= "file:///c:/sharefolder";

hi,
i can't user forward slashes. since ,the local folder can represent by using backslash.
and the main thing is
WHILE I PLACE THE URL file:\\\c:\sharefolder
direct in the address bar it is opening a local folder.
but
while i try this by using javascript it is not opening. so only i need to know
why it is not opening by using javascript?

It is not opening using Javascript because you are not following the advice you were given after asking your question.
Use forward slashes.

It works for me, so the trouble must be an incorrect path to the file.
<script language="JavaScript"> is deprecated. Use <script type = "text/javascript"> instead.
Remove the red:- onClick="javascript:whatFile()"/>
