Also, try putting it in Windows Start --> Run box, it should also work.
Note that the same thing as a link, might not work, due to security restrictions: file:///C:/
That’s why I said an add-on might be required. So search online for solutions tothese problems. As long as SuiteCRM gives you a link that works when typing it in your browser, or when using “Start --> Run” from Windows, then it is correct, and it’s as far as you can get with SuiteCRM only.
