This is an issue that happened with the release of "Service Pack 2" (I think it was SP2). You are NOT allowed to click on a link that accesses the C: drive -period-. The browser simply ignores you. We got around this issue by mapping a network drive to our own C: drive, and generating links to that mapped drive. SP2 allows you to then click on these links. FYI: We used to be able to simply put our own IP address as a trusted site, but SP2 doesn't even allow that any more.
