First, make sure your syntax is correct for local file URLs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/networking/predefined/file.asp http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1738.html - see section 3.10 File URLs http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/fileurl.html
There's been a change with IE 6 SP-2 with these local file URLs:
You may receive an error message when you click a hyperlink that references a file on your local computer or on your local network in Internet Explorer 6

Also, make sure your Local Machine Zone security settings are set to allow such action:

Question?
<a href="file:///c:/path/filename.pdf">File</a> will not work in IE? Has anybody had this issue?
IE 6.0 Service Pack2
If you copy the path file:///c:/path/filename.pdf and paste it in the address bar it will open the file, but if you try to click on the link it doesn't do zip!!!
