Thank goodness. If URLs with ".." gave clients access higher than the
web root, clients would be able to access any file on the same drive
(unless access permissions were set with the greatest care, but that's
an immense burden and concern).
What you're supposed to do if you want a web site to include files in a
directory not under the web root is to create a virtual directory under
the web site in IIS (you mention wwwroot, so I assume you're talking
about IIS) that points to that physical directory so that, for example,
http://mysite.example.invalid/images/
points to your directory c:\mywebimages. Then
<img src="/images/x.gif">
will deliver c:\mywebimages\x.gif.
