window.open

[Guest]

Have XP SP2. Using VS.NET 2003 v7.1.3088, Asp.NET v1.1.4322.
For some reason - cannot open file on local machine using window.open command.
Sample syntax : window.open("C:\\Downloads\File.txt", "_blank")
This works on another development laptop - but not here - no error message -
just won't open from ANY folder on the laptop. I'm not sure how to apply
permissions for ASPNET account - I've set permissions on folder similiar to
Windows 2000 platform, i.e., Downloads for ASPNET account for full control -
but still won't open any file from laptop. Any suggestions? This is last
issue I have with migration to XP platform.
Tnks always

that's a permissions error, the asp.net account needs permission to interact
with the desktop. right click on the folder and set the permissions
appropriately
