Hello

Our Windows 7 (IE8 and IE9) machines are having an issue trying to access Hyperlinks to files from our Web Portal. The XP (IE7 and IE8) can launch the files as expected.

The files are using the file:// protocol as the hyperlinks. For example file://ServerName/directory/filename.doc

The error Cannot Display this Page appears. It also is not possible to right click and 'Save Target As' The following message appears

              Windows Internet Explorer

              Unable to Download

              The directory name is invalid

Any advice would be greatly appreciated
