How to access image files outside project folder in html?

[Crystal eye]

I put the user uploaded image files on separate disk partition on my local dev server(OS windows) which is outside of project folder. I need to access those image files in html pages of web app.I tried out giving paths like: \[code\]http://localhost:8080/C://tmp/thumbnails/pl_2001.JPEG\[/code\] but no help. Image is not fetched. How to properly access such files in html pages ?
