Vista - html and wmv files using 'backward' relative addressing

Hi,
My html code can call and run wmv files if the wmv file is in the same
folder or a sub-folder as the html file calling it. But I normally like to
keep my code and images in separate folders viz:
(..\contents for html, ..\images for jpg files and ..\videos for wmv files).
The relevant code extracts of an html file located in ..\contents are
<PARAM name="FileName" VALUE="../videos/videofle.wmv">
<EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" SRC="../videos/videofle.wmv"
NAME="MediaPlayer"
This doesn't work. When the player is displayed and I right click it to
check its properties, the properties are disabled.
'Backward' relative addressing works perfectly for images held in ..\Images
such as
html code ../images/imagefle.jpg.
Why doesn't 'backward' relative addressing work for wmv files?

As noted, that's not supported. Use either full URLs or subdirectories, but
directory walking upwards in that fashion is as noted not supported. An
ActiveX control that supports ".." in the pathname is potentially in for an
interesting time - it's kind of good to avoid that.
