HTML Help for local files please?

[DC]

I want to make my own start page so that I can quickly access files and
programs on my computer. The problem is that I can't find the HTML coding to
do this. I want to be able to click various images, one to open up a text
file in notepad so it can be edited and saved, one to open my playlist of
music and another to open a folder such as my documents so I can see the
contents. Can anybody help me as to if there is a way of doing it??

Uh, isn't that what your *desktop* does now?

I can imagine it's a bit of a hassle to have all those large
icons everywhere, I use Desktop Sidebar for that. Also holds my
WinAmp, MediaPlayer, MSN, volume and more.

Well, thanks I guess. I just wanted my own little project and a better start
page, guess I'll have to give it a miss.

Seems like a waste of time, given all the existing products
that will do that already.

The problem is that I can't find the HTML coding to do this.

If you want to "click" on a link on your 'start page', then
the link has to point to the local resource you want, rather
than to a resource on the internet. Read up on "file URLs":

P.S.
Your signature delimiter is broken - it is supposed
to be two dashes followed by a space(which you are missing).
