How to add a local file to trusted zone in IE8?

Question

I want to add a file on my local drive (C:\something.html) to the Trusted Zone in IE8 (my OS is Windows Server 2003). The Add Sites Dialog box, does not seem to take entries for files on the local drive.

I have tried:

file://C:\something.html
file:\\localhost\c$\something.html

I have seen other solutions (on superuser and elsewhere) such Mark of Web, that allow your local file to be treated as if it were part of the internet zone, but I want to add my file to the Trusted Zone.

How can I do this? Thanks.

Answer 1

Note that it would have to be file:/// (three slashes)

Answer 2

Dangerous suggestion :
Install IIS, add C: as a virtual directory, and add localhost to the Trusted Zone.

You can set the permissions to allow IIS access only to some of the directories on C:.

The only other solution I know is Mark of the Web.
