Using local files in URL

Having a bit of a problem with this.

When I enter the location that works from with IE nothing is returned from RTM.

for example I'm putting this into the RTM URL field ...

file:///c:/text.txt

... but nothing happens - not even a 404 page

I'd like to be able ot link to a local document - for extended notes / references etc.

Hi David,

Can I ask which version of IE you're using? Also, are you using any third-party security software?

Some browsers block file:// links from webpages for security reasons, although I'm not sure of IE's policy on this.

additionally
LocalLink - firefox addin (http://locallink.mozdev.org/)
and using
%20
instead of spaces in file names

works!!!
