Thanks for you help in advance,

I am building a very simple web page , (a single page) with links to e.g bbc.com, cnn.com etc, (this works fine)

now i need to create diff links on that page to various location on our internal shared drive, which is already map to user pc from the server (running win server 2008).

wen users who's systems are not connected to our domain try to access the shared drive (after a shut down) they are always prompted for username and password which then give them access to the drive.

my ques now is how do i create this link on my html page so that when users click it. its opens (\10.10.0.1\k\Shared\HR) in windows explorer and not in the browser which it does now. 

<li data-tags="Logo Design"><a href="\\10.10.0.1\k\"><img src="images/portfolio/thumbs/image(5).jpg" alt="Illustration" /></a>

this is the line i use.

i have read this links but they dont look to ans my ques, or i dont just understand what to do,

Opening windows explorer via link

Open ClickOnce application deployed in shared folder by a web browser

Access a shared folder from a machine not in the domain

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7249017/open-file-w-test-in-explorer-exe-not-in-chrome-or-internet-explorer-any (this looks like what i need but i don't know where to fit in the code there)

How to launch an EXE from Web page (asp.net)

This will not be accomplished by any default browser configuration that I am aware of, as using file:// references would typically cause the browser to try to launch the file. Maybe search though Chrome plug-ins to see if something is available there to override default browser behavior.
