I apologize because I posted this question earlier under Re: [PHP] href 
difference between OS's, and am still struggling with the problem. I think 
I have fished all the way around the lake, with no results.


I cannot get href links to local files to work on an XP machine.



This is an issue that happened with the release of "Service Pack 2" (I think 
it was SP2).
You are NOT allowed to click on a link that accesses the C: drive -period-. 
The browser simply ignores you.


We got around this issue by mapping a network drive to our own C: drive, and 
generating links to that mapped drive.  SP2 allows you to then click on 
these links.


FYI:  We used to be able to simply put our own IP address as a trusted site, 
but SP2 doesn't even allow that any more.

Thanks, I am very  grateful for you help. I was beginning to think there 
was no solution, or I would have to live with the problem and hopefully 
stumble across the answer eventually.


Thanks again!!
