Hey guys, welcome you all to our blog. Well, today we will not going to discuss any long technical topics, in spite of, today we are just gonna share a simple trick which is for them who are little bit experimental geeks. So, let's stretch the level of technology.
So, have you ever wished to surf the directories of your computer from a web browser but you could not get the idea to do it. So let's learn how to get through it. First of all remember, "file" is the protocol that we are gonna use to do it. For example, let us consider we have already fired up firefox in our system and now we are gonna access our drive "c" from our browser's url bar. So go to url and type this path:
file:///c:/ (hit enter)
That's it. You are all the way to your c drive. I am attaching screenshot of my c drive's directories and files in firefox.
File is the command that we have to use for surfing. Let's do some more surfing. Let's grab our desktop. For the time being i am using my computer in which my user name is "Rohit". So command would be as below:
file:///c:/users/rohit/desktop (hit enter). I am also giving you snapshot of it in case of my computer.
Note: While typing the path of the directory you must keep in mind that it is not case sensitive i.e, it will treat both capital and small letters as same. So that means both " FILE:///C:/ = file:///c:/". So you don't need to bother with that.
So in this way you can navigate the directories from your browser. Also if you play a video file from your browser by clicking on that video file then it will play the file in browser framework.
So, guys that was the small segment for today. We will be back soon. Till then you do like, share and subscribe as it just needs a small click.

Similarly, to get through your other drives like D, E, F etc, just replace "c://" with the letter of that drive.
Note: While typing the path of the directory you must keep in mind that it is not case sensitive i.e, it will treat both capital and small letters as same. So that means both " FILE:///C:/ = file:///c:/". So you don't need to bother with that.
