Thread:Project:Support desk/Linking to external Link

I have my mediawiki on a virtual machine that is bridged. One thing i noticed was when i added an external link file:///Z:/test/test/index.html or file://///Z:/test/test/index.html. I tried clicking it in my internet explorer 11 but it does not work. It shows the proper link in the status bar: file:///Z:/test/test/index.html But when I clicked on it, it just did nothing. This goes the same for firefox, chrome or IE. But for Google Chrome they can be enabled using the LocalLinks extension.

On the other hand, when i created a html webpage,  Test, the link works in all browser. Any idea why is this happening?
