Well... wouldn't this lead you to think about the web server blocking
the access to those files? I bet C:\pictures is not part of the normal
web space for your server. Try a simple page such as:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<img src="C:/pictures/xyz.jpg">
</body>
</html>

What do your web server logs tell you?
