<AWT Dev> RFE: new function in Desktop class

[Paulo Levi]

Nope. I don't have a computer that would be able to build the jdk. But it
seems like it would be a function that already exists, at least partially
and privately. I've meanwhile thought of a good name.
public void explore(File f)?

What do you think?
