Hyperlink to a file in workitem description

[Alon Raskin]

I could be wrong but I think you will find that security settings in Outlook/Explorer will prevent you from linking to a local file. Think about it. I could send you a link to your format.exe on your C drive and could have you format your hard drive just by clicking on the link.
 
With Desktop Workplace, we had to create a Asynchronous Protocol Handler to handle local file name hyperlinks. So now the user clicks on dw:\\blahblajlb and that is then handled by the local dw.exe file. Of course to do this you need to be knowledgeable in Windows Programming (C/C++, Delphi, VB, etc) and Windows registry settings. You can read more about Asynch Protocol Handlers on the MS site at http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/networking/pluggable/pluggable.asp.

Hi,

i wanted to add a hyperlink to file in a workitem description.
It doesn't work and i don't know why!
First i added a hyperlink to an URL with:
/*   <a href="http://www.sap.com">SAP-Page</a>
That works fine!
Then i tried numerous possibilities to call a file on my computer but it doesn't work.
/*   <a href="file://c:\">Local File</a>, <a
href="file://c:\test.doc">Document</a>, ...

Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks in advance!
Werner.
