title: WebSite - download link
body: <p>I'm just playing around with HTML, and wanted to create a link to access a file in a particular location on the disk (not on the disk where the source code of the web page is located).</p>
  
  <p>I have tried to do the following:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;a href="D:\MyDoc.pdf"&gt;Download My File&lt;/a&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>but this cannot access the file and gives an error.</p>
  
  <p>What can be the problem, and how do I fix it?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
