Open C:\folder\ link as file://C:\folder\
I want to have links (on my local html page) written like C:\folder\ I want that they open as file://C:\folder\
How is it possible to do? Should I define new "c" protocol or something?
Firefox 27, Windows 7 Thank you!

Two ways you can define it in HTML Page
- Use the path as "file:///C:/Users/Hello.html"
- Use both the files in same folder and mention only the file name "Hello.html"
iamjayakumars, thank you! But if I want to use the path as "C:/Users/Hello.html" and "C:/Users/" e.g. to open it in Windows File Explorer from Firefox link, how should I do it? Can I define a new protocol, or I need to write JavaScript to add "file:///" in front of such address?
To open a local file you must use "file:///"
Thank you, iamjayakumars! Can I hide "file:///" from end-user? It's more convenient (for example, in documentation like dokuwiki) if user just puts a link "C:/Users/" in a page and it works. It's harder for users to add every time "file:///". So can it be prepended automatically or redefined as a new protocol? Sorry for the newbie question. Thank you in advance.
