Our company has an intranet. And for some of our resources there is a link to a local file structure so everyone can access it. (example: file:\name\file\text.txt)

This works great on IE but Chrome is becoming more and more popular. After researching this, Chrome does not allow access to a local file structure for security reasons.

Is there a way to force Chrome (globally, not per computer) to allow access to a local file structure link?

Can you create a link that requests the user to open it in IE?

epascarello - Thank you. I read that question. It had been a while since it had been updated so I had hoped there was something new I was unaware of. – Jake Dixon Jan 29 '15 at 03:51
