Thread:Project:Support desk/Linking to external Link/reply (3)

Your browser is blocking the access of file:// links when the page that has the links is not saved in your local computer. That's why your local html file works but not when the link is placed in an internet/intranet site.

Having file:// links is a bad idea anyway. You should use a web server or ftp to store those files if you want to access them reliably from all computers of your network, because you can't expect all people to have Z:\ to be mapped to the same shared folder.
