hyperlinking to a local file

[pedalandrow]

This works in the IE's browser:
file:///C|/Program%20Files/FIS/BankAnalyst/System/BankAnalyst.exe

When pasted into the address field of a Word hyperlink it turns to this and
will not launch the file - I've tried quotes, etc.:
C:\Program Files\FIS\BankAnalyst\System\BankAnalyst.exe

Is there a way to link to a local file?

I found the answer in the Microsoft knowledge db for IE. Turns out you
cannot link to a local file from a page if you have IE6 and Windows XP Pro
with SP2. It's some security bug.
