That's not actually a proper URI, even for a local-system reference;
under the syntax rules, you need three slashes after the protocol to
represent an empty host element (or use "localhost" after the second
slash, alternatively), and forward slashes for all hierarchical levels
regardless of the local operating system convention. In other words,
the proper URI is:
file:///Z:/wildprop.sasktelwebsite.net/4sale/album.htm
Mozilla, for one, is pretty picky if incorrect "file:" URI syntax is
used.
