<iframe src="myframe.html" frameborder="0" width="99%" height="99%" name="showframe"></iframe>
myframe.html will contain several links to local folder like the following:
<a href="\\C23\public\docs\profiles" target="showframe">Profiles</a>
C23 is the computer name in my company's network.
If I click the link, I want to be able to view all the files and folders in the specified path.
Using Internet Explorer 6, i have no problem at all. I can view the files and folders through the IFRAME, and I can also double-click a folder an view the subfolders inside it (traverse the folder like when using MyComputer, only in this case I traverse it through the IFRAME while keeping the rest of the webpage). The address bar will always point to myframe.html even when I'm traversing down the folders.
The problem comes when I open it using IE5 (or at least when I open it from a computer with Window 98 and 2000, XP is fine),
If I double click a folder in a frame, the IE will redirect me to the \\C23\public\docs\profiles, thus leaving my webpage (the address bar now change to \\C23\public\docs\profiles.
How to change the settings of IE or what do I need to do to be able to do it like in IE6? I want to be able to traverse through the folders using the IFRAME so that I can still see the rest of the images and text in my webpage.
I spent a bit of time poking around the Microsoft site on this - to no avail so far.
Have you tried using a good search engine including the term site:microsoft.com - being close to the problem, you may have better luck than I did coming up with precise key words that target the issue.

That seems to be an important detail - you've actually got a operating system issue, and not just a browser issue per se.
