I wish to open either as a link or using rules this

%windir%\system32\Rundll32.exe dsquery.dll OpenQueryWindow

when i use hyperlink (with file:) it defaults to http://

is there another way to do this?

I'm not sure if it will work, but try setting the link to file:// instead of http://

You can use a rule to set the value of the link field:

value =  concat("file", substring-after(., "http"))

Thanks ErnestoM 

I tried "file" but no joy, i am not sure what you mean by setting value to link field.

Hi theguj,

A hyperlink invokes browser link and opens the content inside it. You can open a file using file://<absolutefilepath>.<extn>. If the browser is configured with the required plug in, it will open the respective content type [Ex: doc,ppt,pdf]. Else you'll receive the open,save,cancel dialog box. Executing an executable file, passing command line parameters is not possible through a browser.
