OK, sounds like a stupid question but noone in the R2 beta is replying LOL. Is there
anyway I could put a link on my site (eg. www.zack.co.uk/page.htm) and it link to a HTML
document on the user's computer (eg. c:\progra~1\zack\test.htm) ?

I've tried doing a simple link, but there seems to be a divide between the Internet and
someone's computer. I could see how this could be used to execute a bad script on a
computer or something, but for the reason intended, it's so that people can check out my
website and click a button to see if they have a certian application installed (would link
to a HTML document in the same folder as the application).

This is just for a project I'm trying to do... if anyone could help I would really
appreciate it!

Yup, done that. I just can't work out why it doesn't work...

In theory it should, and your suggestion I've already got runs locally in IE and it works
fine, it's just when it gets uploaded to the web!
