Where can I find the coding/tag information I need to create an html file I can access with my Firefox browser's "Open file" command that

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.

I can add code to for accessing files and folders that exist on a hard drive on any of my computers, i.e. I need to build an Intranet on my home system, eventually on my network. Some of the folders represent collections of downloaded entire websites (top level filesystem) on various topics (these are pairs consisting of a base html file and its associated folder, containing all files listed in the html file). I have temporarily uploaded some of these pairs to my website as a a test and they display fine on a linux server, but doing the same on my home computer running WinXP is another matter...

I just use a simple ascii text file editor to create html files so all I need is the tag info I can use to make it happen.
