File link in Windows?

File link in Windows?

[Morten Hindsholm]

Hi

I am a long-time Emacs user who has just started using Orgmode, and I must say I'm impressed!

I have a small Windows-related problem, though:
I can create links to external files, but only when they are on the same drive as my .org file.
For example:

    file:/home/mohi.html

is OK, but

   file:///C:/home/mohi.html

is not.
I have tried different ways of specifying a URL with a drive letter with no luck so far.

Is it possible at all?

TIA

   file:C:/home/mohi.html

seems to work :)
