I want to open a local HTML file through Javascript using:
window.open ("file://C:/Users/wins/Desktop/exclusiveWordpress.html","mywindow");
But it is opening a new window with a blank page as we used to get when URL is not specified. How do I achieve this?

You can make a HTML link open in a new tab by adding the target=”_blank” attribute. You should insert this after the link address.
The file at file:///Users/.../index.html is not readable. It may have been removed, moved, or file permissions may be preventing access. Community content may not be verified or up-to-date.
Open the saved HTML file in your favorite browser (double click on the file, or right-click - and choose "Open with").
This worked for me fine:
File 1:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<a href="#" onclick="window.open('file:///D:/Examples/file2.html'); return false">CLICK ME</a>
</body>
<footer></footer>
</html>
File 2:
<html>
...
</html>
This method works regardless of whether or not the 2 files are in the same directory, BUT both files must be local.
For obvious security reasons, if File 1 is located on a remote server you absolutely cannot open a file on some client's host computer and trying to do so will open a blank target.

window.location.href = 'file://///fileserver/upload/Old_Upload/05_06_2019/THRESHOLD/BBH/Look/chrs/Delia';
Nothing Worked for me.
