SharePoint Online; Is it possible to start a local application from withing a sharepoint online site?

Hi

We have a SharePoint site that is called "Programs". On this site we have added links to our webprograms.

How can we add links to local applications that run on our local server?

Hi Bjorn, what type of applications are you referring to? Are they on a shared network drive?

Hi Cameron,

They are on a shared network drive, meaning the shortcut to the local applications are the same for all users.

So you're just looking for the link format to use? If so:

Drive://address/folder/file.ext

Hi Cameron,

Links must start with:
https://, mailto:, news:, ftp://, file:// or \\

I add the link:

file://c:/windows/system32/notepad.exe

and it does not work.

I also tried to add code:

<a href="file:///c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe">Link</a>

I had a look on Microsoft URLs

 I cant seem to get this working. Are anyone able to start notepad using a link from SharePoint online?
