title: How do I redirect a browser to a local file in ASP.NET?
body: <p>I want firefox to open <em>C:\somefile.txt</em> on the local drive. I've tried response.redirect with the "file:///" prefix, but it just inserts "Object moved to here." into the page. I also want to htmlencode the path because it could contain special chars... </p>

    <p><strong>Edit:</strong> To be clear: <em>C:\somefile.txt</em> is a file on the <strong>client box</strong> running the browser</p>
