Fixes #95. On Windows, clicking Open folder for a version in Your versions started the game instead of opening its folder.

The button passed the bare folder path to the shell's "open", which can run a program of that name rather than open the folder. On Windows a folder is now opened by naming it to explorer.exe, which can only show a folder. Links and other paths go through the shell as before.
