How do I add a folder and show it as a hyperlink?

[JG]

Hi,

Suppose you have a folder, named C:\Documents and Settings\Mickey Mouse\My
Documents\Downloads\. Now you want this to show up as a hyperlink in a note
in OneNote. So far I can't get this to work.

I looked at the online help and it says to add the prefix "file:\\" to the
folder's name. I tried this and it works, however only "C:\Documents"
becomes a hyperlink. How to you make it so the whole folder is a hyperlink?
The spaces are screwing this up...

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
joe

Enclose the pathname in quotes.

Nott really Ben. enclosing the path in quotes won't work.

However, enclosing the path in "<" and ">" does work.
