link to My Computer

[Code One]

Hi,

I'm not talking about some hacker sneaking into my system using a back door trojan, or anything malicious. What I want to do is simply link an Iframe to the My computer directory, something like:
==========================================
<Iframe src="My Computer" width=420 height=420></iframe>
==========================================
of course the above wont work, so I'm asking you what is the actual address to the my computer directory?

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Well, if you are on a dynamic ip it is not going to be pretty because whenever you ip changes boom 404 error, if you are on cable or dsl and have a long loast ip this is about 3 days on 56k its every time you reconnect. You are going need to set your computer up as a server in a way, but setting up an ftp should not be too dificult. Exactly what operating system are you on.

sorry,
I think I confused you... I meant the My computer folder located somewhere in my hard drive. Though the explanation you gave is intereseting I am running off ME - cable modem if you dont mind further explaining what you meant.

Thanks

I was going to say, just do a simple search on your system for "my computer". You will see the complete path to the folder. But, I just tried that & it doesn't work.

Maybe we could suggest a workaround if you tell us what your situation is & what you want to accomplish.

VB is one way to do so, but to display it in an iframe is one thing I think only C++ could do, I decided to reference the C:\ drive instead.

Thanks though the same,

You can access any file on your computer using
file:///<path to the html file>
Note that the only difference is file:/// instead of http://. In IE, inputting C:\pathtothefile\filename.html will also work.

Now, if you are talking about "My Computer" present on your desktop, I don't know if you can access that through a browser window; though you can access c:, d:, etc.

your right... you cant access the "my computer" from inside a browser... but you can reference it using VBscript...

thanks for the help ;),
