Link to local files

Hi,
I've a problem with local files:
Links to most of the connected shares work:

<a href="file:///k:/myportrait.gif">my portrait</a>

but links to the c-drive do not work, without any message:

<a href="file:///c:/myportrait.gif">my portrait</a>

(the link copied into the address filed works)

I use IE 6.0 SP 2

Anyone any idea ?

You are completely off-topic, unless you can show /some/ connection of this
to ECMAScript-conforming programming. (In that case, please ignore the
Followup-To I have set.)

- What does "most of the connected shares" mean? Does it work with all
shares, or not? If no, check the access configuration of the shares.

- Specify from what resource you are trying to access the image resource.
Is it a resource accessed with http:// trying to access a resource
through file://? Check the security settings of IE: are they set too
high for this kind of access?

- Specify what "do not work" means: Is the image displayed wrong? Is an
error image displayed instead? Does this happen with other resources
on the same device as well?

- Try capital letters for drive letters instead. Make sure the case of
the resource name meets the case of the actual file. If unsure, rename
the file twice (appending and removing an arbitrary prefix, suffix or
infix) to make its name all lowercase.

- Make sure the guest user has the necessary permissions to access files
in the root directory of C: (C:\).
