window.showHelp method

I have created a help file and placed it in a folder on my C drive. In my
web application I have the following:

<input type="button" value="Show Help"
onclick="window.showHelp('C:\\Help\\Help.chm')">

However, when I click the button I get an error symbol at the bottom of the
page, and on clicking it I am told that access is denied. I have given this
folder full rights, yet nothing happens when I click the button (just the
error sumbol).

Can anyone suggest a way around this?
