Of course it works!
It just doesn't do what you expected...

It is doing exactly what it was when you tested it on your development machine - opening a Windows Explorer instance (and window) on the server. But when it was on your development machine, you could see it, because the client and the server were the same computer.
Now you are in production, and they aren't. So the client can't see the window, because (like all other C# code) it is executed on the server and not the client.

What you are probably doing is annoying the heck out of your web host administrator, since you are opening windows you can't close...

You can't do that. It doesn't work, and even if it did it would be an enormous security hole which would probably get you thrown off the server with extreme prejudice!
