Use file:// <pathName> to access local file from salesforce or any web application 
HYPERLINK("file://<path>,"View")
This will work when the user in IE browser, to work in the chrome browser you have to install following chrome extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/locallinks/jllpkdkcdjndhggodimiphkghogcpida
