I tried adding a notepad file from my desktop to my favorites via Favorites->Add other objects->Web address or file. The notepad file got added succesfully to the favorites screen. However on double clicking the file I am getting the below error in the screenshot.
However this was working earlier.
What could possibly be the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Richard,
I tried with an HTML extension but it doesnt work.
On debugging, it was found that function module 'CALL_BROWSER' is being called and inside this FM a check is available to see if the path entered starts with 'https://' or 'www'. Since we are uploading a file from the local machine, the path starts with 'C:' and hence the check fails and the error message is getting displayed. Looking for solution to overcome the error.

It's not an error - it seems like it's by design since the browser is being used to display the file. Why not stash it on a server somewhere since on a local pc the file will not be available 24 hours a day since the user will be turning the pc on and off.
Have you checked the SAP documentation ??
This states:
1.Choose Favorites → Link or file.
A dialog box appears.
2.Enter the name and Web address or the file name and choose Continue.
The Web address must start with http://. For example, http://www.sap.com.
The file name must have the format: <Drive>:\<filename>\<filepath>. For example, C:\Texts\SAP.doc. You can use this function only if you can access local files from your Web browser.

You would be using web address or file to do that.
I tried when you add it; it doesn't open firstly; but later it starts. for me it always doing the same when I login every time..
first time wont work; force it to close it & then run again it will work.
