Answer 1

You should be referencing it as localhost. Like this:

<img src="http:\\localhost\site\img\mypicture.jpg"/>

Answer 2

<img src="file://C:/wamp/www/site/img/mypicture.jpg"/>

Answer 3

I think because C would be seen the C drive on the client pc, it wont let you. And if it could do this, it would be a big security hole.

Answer 4

Use forward slashes. See explanation here
