HTML link to directory in a Samba share, that works on Internet Explorer 7/8

I want my HTML page to link to a directory in a Samba share (protocol SMB/CIFS Windows share). In my HREF I wrote file://server/Share2/folder3

Most browsers handle it fine (mount the sh开发者_StackOverflow中文版are and open a file manager on folder3) except Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8, which say Permission denied without even asking for a password. What should I write in the HREF for IE7/8 to be able to open folder3?

Notes:

The correct syntax for file:// links is:

file:///path/on/local/computer

file://server/share/folder

So in your case try file://server/Share2/folder3

Check if this is fixed by adding the share to trusted sites in IE. (Eg, internet options security, trusted sites)
