1. A computer-implemented local resource access system, comprising:
- an initiating program having an instruction that generates a request for access to a resource, the request including a token and having the form of a hyperlink; and
a translator program that receives the access request from the initiating program, the translator program further comprising instructions that generate a return token in response to the access request and instruction that return the return token to the initiating program, the return token further comprising a hyperlink containing a path to the local resource.

Abstract
A system and method are provided that permit access to a local resource, such as a media content file, without the security warnings typically encountered. The system has a software component or set of components that validate a hyperlink to a local (or remote) resource in the context of the network security environment and securely allows that hyperlink to access local (or remote) resources without being subject to additional restrictions or user inconvenience. A method for generating the hyperlink is also disclosed.
