When I click on "Open file" and select an existing .html file in a 
folder, and open it I get this URL:
Example: file:///K:/MACHINESHOP-NewInfo-FromDriveD/annular-cutter-info.html

The file:/// "tag" doesn't seem to be a valid html tag that can be used 
to create a web page representing a filesystem on a hard drive on a 
computer on my home network.

The "http://"; tag doesn't seem to work either.
