    Open exrternal file in a WebBrowser control

    Hi I am trying to open an external file within a WebBrowser control.

    When I output the code to a file it seems to work in internet explorer.

    Please can you give me some help???

    Code is as follows:-

    Code:
    public Form1()
            {
                InitializeComponent();
                MemoryStream HTMLMemory = new MemoryStream();
                StreamWriter HTMLWriter = new StreamWriter(HTMLMemory);
               
                HTMLWriter.Write("<html><body><input type=button onClick=\" window.location='file:///C:/RDR_Expert_Advisory/Anomaly_ID_surfaces_2010_v.avi'\" value=\"Open File\">");
              
                HTMLWriter.Flush();
                HTMLMemory.Position = 0;
                webBrowser1.DocumentStream = HTMLMemory;
    
                // Print code to a txt file
                StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("C:\\RDR_Expert_Advisory\\Test.htm");
                StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(HTMLMemory);
                sw.WriteLine(sr.ReadToEnd());
                sw.Close();
                HTMLMemory.Position = 0;
            }

    The problem I get is a script error:

    "An error has occurred in the script on this page."

    Line 1
    Char 1
    Error Permission denied
    Code 0
    URL about:blank
