File links not opening parent directory in File Explorer (IntranetFileLinksEnabled)
Hi Insiders, I am experiencing an undocumented behaviour when using MS Edge with IntranetFileLinksEnabled group policy. Our SPA displays anchors with file URL e.g. <a class="link-text" href...
Just had the same problem. For me the issue was that the file was blocked, as seen in the properties of the file at the bottom of the general tab:
This File Came From Another Computer and Might Be Blocked
Once "allowed" the link in Edge behaves as expected. It seems this protection setting gets checked even though Edge won't directly launch the file.
Edit: Reading your question again, it seems to be a different problem since a reload wouldn't open the file in my case.
Thanks giordnas
Checked the properties of the file and it isn't blocked.
Do you know if it is possible to enable debugging in Edge and monitor for this error? Might reveal something specific about the setup of my environment.

- I don't know if Edge has debugging options, but maybe have a look at the console tab in the developer tools (press F12 while on the website) while clicking the link.
