Are you trying to view this page on a web server?

What i do is in the folder where all the HTML files are, i have another folder called "images" with all the site images in there.

Then i would go into dreamweaver (which is what i use to edit my site) and then map to the image. If you have it working properly, you shouldn't need any of the C:\Users etc

If you need help with this, i can help you. I can do it for you if you would like.
