When you use the "C:/directory/file" format your browser is fetching the file directly from the filesystem and displaying it as best it can; your apache webserver is not involved in the process at all. So there will be no execution of the CGI script, as that takes place inside apache.

I have a set of cgi scripts that will only run when addressed with an 'http://type URL' and not the 'C:/directory/file' format. When I need to use cgi Apache produces a 'Save As' Dialog box because the http server is being bypassed. I can't figure out how to rewrite how my cgi programs are addressed. I don't want the Document Root included, I need the http:// format for them to run.
