I have the following: 

<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #000000; background-color: #eee; width: 200px;}
a:link {color: #000099;}
a:visited {color: #000099;}
a {text-decoration: none; margin-left: 0.5em; display: block;}
div.folder {padding-top: 10px;}
div.folder a {display: none;}
div.folder:hover a {display: block;}
div.title { color: maroon; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; padding-bottom: 6px; }
div.subtitle { color: navy; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 8px; }
div.subtitle a { color: navy; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; }
div.subtitle a:hover { color: blue; }
-->
</style>

</head>

<body background="DNASidebar_files/DNA%2520Sidebar%2520for%2520Firefox.html">
<div class="title">Bioinformatics Sidebar</div>
<div class="subtitle">Active as of: <i>2022-05-18</i></div>

<div class="folder">Databases</div>
<a href="www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore">Nucleotide</a>
...
</body></html>

To use this, I just click it in whatever folder it's in and it comes up in Firefox. If I run this on either Linux or Mac, when I click "Nucleotide" it takes me to the URL. If I do this on Windows 11, my URL looks like the following:

file:///C:/Users/xxxxx/Documents/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore

What do I need to do on Windows to get the real URL to execute?

Thanks, Joe

Try to include the protocol (https://) or leave out the protocol and only use the two leading '//'.
