Hi, I’m trying create a link that will open up a folder on my hard drive. I [COLOR=black]figured you just put the link like this:[/COLOR]

```auto

[SIZE=2][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]<[/COLOR][/SIZE][/SIZE][COLOR=black][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]a [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]href[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]="C:\Program Files">[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2]Blah[/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]</[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]a[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]>[/SIZE][/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=2]
[/SIZE]

```

[COLOR=black]My reasoning was that if I typed in “C:\Program Files” (without quotes) in a browser it would open up the folder. But unfortunatley that does not work. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]How would I do this?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]Thanks.[/COLOR]
