Linking html files

It has little reason to make that assumption because webpages generally don't try to link to peoples' local files. Because it's part of the File URI scheme. You have the option of specifying a host after the first two slashes. If you skip specifying a host it will just assume you're referring to a file on your own PC.

Your browser will respond to these files the same way they'd respond to the same file anywhere on the internet. These files will not open in your default file handler e. Sites in your browser cannot interact with your operating system very well. If a good site could tell your machine to open lecture. Or it could just tell your machine to run a few Uninstall.

This may not be convenient for you, but HTML and browser security weren't really designed for what you're doing. If you want to be able to open lecture. Name the virtual folder. Point the virtual folder to your folder location on your local PC. You also have to supply credentials that has privileges to access the specific folder eg.

After that you can access the file in the virtual folder as any other file on your site. How are we doing? Please help us improve Stack Overflow.
