Local Links
Introduction
A local link links from a web page to a directory on the users computer, such as C:\Windows\. This can be done with the normal link tag, but the place where the URL is normally typed will be replaced by the full directory.
Local Link
This link is very similar to the normal link tag, only the area it links to is different. The starting tag is <A HREF="file:///X:/..."> and the closing tag is </A>. The text between the tag is what text will be the link. In the area the link is linking to, the X is replaced with the drive letter and the ... is replaced with the directory you are linking to. Here is an example using the local link.

index.html - Notepad
....<BODY>

<A HREF="file:///C:/Windows/">

My Homepage - Microsoft Internet Explorer
