Add the following in File\>Options\>Tools  
Create a new entry  
Enter a fitting name, e.g. Explorer  
Enter the fully qualified filename, probably c:\windows\explorer.exe  
Enter as command line parameters: /e,/select,"%\_path%"  
Save this.

The function is now available in the files list context menu, submenu Tools
