I would recommend the use of relative addressing in any html system of
files. Addressing with "file:// ... " may work on a PC but if the files
are transferred to a web server everything goes south. Relative
addressing assumes any file being called from a web page is relative to
that page. So if the page is, say, at /home/www/mysite/thisfile.html,
and it calls a graphic image in, say, /home/www/mysite/images/, then the
correct address would be "images/imgfile.png" for instance. Suppose
stylesheets are in /home/www/css/, then the relative address from that
current file would be "../css/default.css" for instance.
This addressing transfers just fine to a CD, btw, assuming all
directories and files are copied without changing their addresses
relative to each other.
My apologies if you're way ahead of me on this and I'm answering the
wrong question.

Try just

whatever drive it's on.
Sadly it does not work. Neither does "file:////css/x.css" with any
number of slashes (I'm not quite getting the slashes in the "file:"
method.)
The <base> tag inside the <head> does the same thing.
e.g., if my css folder is http://www.blah.com/css/x.css I would do
<base href="http://www.blah.com";>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/x.css" type="text/css" media="all" />
The problem is to apply that to local files without a web server.
I did happen across this page:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/5.0/help.html?content=WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6cd7.html
which showed me the use of "file:css/x.css" and also
"file:../../css/x.css" and that second solution is working very well
for my application, but putting it in root would still be better.
