My default pages comes up with the links on it.


Where are you hosting the default page? If you're hosting it on a web server, then you can't link to local files.

I just tried it. If the HTML page is on the local disk, then linking to local files works fine -- use file:///C|/Path/To/Wherever.

If not, then it doesn't.

I believe that it's deliberate, done for security reasons. Otherwise, someone could put a link on their webpage and could persuade you to open a file on your machine that did something nasty.

You could try adding the page to the list of trusted sites (assuming that you're using IE).
