Wrong syntax. "\" is disallowed in URLs. Use "/" instead, hoping that your
browser gets it right. Note that file: URLs are by definition
system-specific, so the (probably nonexistent) full user-level documentation
of your browser(s) is the right source of information on them.

Could be. Did you test how <embed> works in your particular system?
