Hi
I hope this is the right place to ask this question, else please delete or move this message.
I have created a simple intranet site for my company. I link to local files on the pages - like this one
file:///F:/P-PR og hjemmeside/E Referencer. When a user clicks the link, it should open in windows explorer.
INTERNET EXPLORER
It works fine in Internet Explorer, but IE messes up the layout totally (w3.css)
EDGE
In the current version of Edge it works some how. Files like PDF opens, but inside Edge, but link to folders does not work - nothing happens.
GOOGLE CHROME
Works super, just as expected, but one has to install a plugin and an extra local program called - as I remember it - LocalExplorer-setup.exe. But I'm not keen to roll that out in the company :\
EDGE CANARY
Nothing happens when I click on a link.
I really hope this can work somehow, else I don't know how to really benefit from an intranet site.
Does anyone know if there is a way to make Edge Canary work this way?
Thanks

@Rattenborg I would not put websites in file system.

Hi @HotCakeX
You have a point. It seems that what I try do, I do it in a wrong way.
I just thought it was very simple, I have the webpage, the files are there - I just needed to link to them :)
”may I ask why you're not using Windows Server's file sharing features” because I did not know of this feature, but I think I need to find out.
Thanks

@Rattenborg I missunderstood you. I was thinking all your html files are right in the file system.

@Thilo Langbein ah ok :)
Strange - as I wrote, it works fine in Edge, current public version ( 42.17134.1.0), but nothing happens when I activate a link in Edge Canary ( 78.0.253.0 ).
