Hello all,
I have a little problem. In one of my websites, I must create a link to
filesystem (file://C:/test.txt).
But all the time, i will use window.open("file:///C:/Test.txt"); I become a
JScript Error. "access denied".

How can I open the file from my website in a new window?

Thanks,
Andre

There are a couple of options.

1) The person using your website has to set their browser permissions to
allow local file access to take place. One way is for them to put your site
in the Trusted Zone (and have Trusted Zone allow local access).

2) You write a trojan horse which does the same thing. ;o)
