use a relative path.
so, if you have x:\folder\another\file.html, do this:
code:
<a href="../../GhostzillaCD-1.0.1-free-v1\program\bin\ghostzilla.exe">Link></a>

shell script? 
save it as ghostzilla.bat:
cd GhostzillaCD-1.0.1-free-v1\program\bin
ghostzilla.exe
you can do this in Windows yes?

Try opening it from the command line so you can see if it spits out any errors.
