[Can't open plugins folder when running EDMC under other user](https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/issues/1113)

`webbrowser` module under these circumstances, or else a Windows OS issue
relating to "the visible desktop is another user".
Work around this by just manually opening up the path in a Windows File
Explorer window instead. The path shown in our Settings > Plugins tab will
be under the 'runas' user's home folder, e.g. `c:\Users\SomeOtherUser\`.
The default [is documented](./Plugins.md#more-info).
