Linking an html page to another one

I have an index.html page (homepage), where the word "login" is supposed to be linked to the login page (login.html). However, when I click "login", it shows the "file not found" message. I can't figure out why.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<header>
<p><a href="file:///C:/Users/Beatriz/Desktop/project/login.html" id="login">Login</a>
<a href="" id="signup"> Sign Up </a></p>
<br/>
<h1 align="center"> Prototype Name </h1>
<h2 align="center"> Prototype Slogan </h2>
</header>
<nav>
<table id="menu">
<tr>
<td><a href="" id="mainlink"> Home </a></td>
<td ><a href="" id="mainlink"> About Us </a></td>
<td><a href="" id="mainlink"> Support </a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</nav>
</body>
</html>
Edit: Somehow it started working after I erased the href and wrote exactly the same thing again.

<p><a href="login.html" id="login">Login</a>

Sorry, I didn't totally understand your answer "Change href to...?"

Instead of using absolute path, use relative path. To do that, just use file name alone. Sorry for not explaining fully. Absolute path is a full filename as in "c:exampleexamplelogin.html" while a relative path is simply a path relative to the active file such as "login.html"

Oh, I see now, thank you. I've tried it too... It's really weird.
