Link to other document not working
 

I'm trying to make a link from one local document to another.

<p>
<a href="C:\Documents and Settings\********\Desktop">
This text</a> is a link to my other html document.
</p>

When i open this with firefox and i click on that link it gives me this message "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol(c) isn't associated with any program"
Now i went into the properties of for the document that it won't open and i put firefox as the program it should open with. Any help?

I changed it to that and now it doesn't give me the error anymore but it gives me a page cannot be found page. I checked the filepath but i still get the error. Can you please post the exact code needed to do this, thank you in advance.

Exact code can be posted once I know your file path and html file path.

The filepath for the document is:
C:/Documents and Settings/*******/Desktop/showingwork2.
The way i have it in the html document is:
<p>
<a href="C:/Documents and Settings/seautio/Desktop">
This text</a> is a link to my other html document.
</p>.

Please help me out.
