The hyperlink needs to start with the http:// Using the C:path will not work as
the viewer would have to have access to your computer for it to work. Does that
make sense?
To confuse you even more the hyperlink could be absolute or relative. Absolute
it with the http:// the relative link is with out your domain name. For example
you had an image at http://www.example.com/image/picture.jpg which is the
absolute address, the relative address is /image/picture.jpg.
Why use one over the other. Using a relative link allows you to move your
website to another domain and it would still work, whereas using an absolute
address would make sure that the link would be correct should you be unfamiliar
with maneuvering the directory structure.
Hope this helps and I hope I did not confuse you any.

Bless you, bless you, bless you!

1. That's the answer I need.

2. It was clear.

3. You gave me extra information to help me understand the "why".

Today, you are my favorite person.

Best regards,
