[AccessD] OT directory folder as URL

Hi Marty:

Thanks for that information. :-)

What I was actually thinking of when asking the question was how a drive
letter can be translated into a html address. For example I installed a
small program on a computer that added a drive letter, say 'X'. The new
drive now showed in the file explorer and could be accessed from any program
as any other drive. The interesting thing was when the drive was selected it
actually opening an http-webdav connection to a remote server.

Now the $100.00 question. It should be simple attach a remote site to a
drive letter...but how? Unfortunately, I can not find the little program
that could create the remote drives or an evening of hacking would sate the
curiosity.

> res://msxml.dll/defaultss.xsl

Very fascinating...worthy of further research. Now where and when exactly
does the web browser actually use this XSL code?

Again Thank you...

Jim

Well in IE in place of http url
You can use

file://c:\MyDir\MySubdir

Other odd forms of URL strings
If you use the WebBrowser control there is a hidden XSL file applied by IE
to an XML file that allows the expansion and contraction of the XML  tree
by pointing at the "+" and "-" images. So you may want to use your own XSL.
 The default XSL stylesheet is a resource in MSXML.DLL or MSXML3.DLL
depending on the release version of XML you are using. If you want to see
what it does, it can be retrieved in IE5 using the URL: Then view source

 res://msxml.dll/defaultss.xsl
