We haven't switched on s.pageName yet, and normally just see the URLs for our webpages.  However we do get randoms like the following:

file:///C:/Users/etc....

file:///localfile.....

Why do i get page's for content that looks like its on user's c drives?

I wouldn't block them by default, but filter out from reporting.

what you could do is adding a condition to the tag manager to check for "file://" in the URL (and kill tracking)

maybe because the user does not know how to make a bookmark and just save the html to desktop (for a quick access). when user opens the html, the local path is displayed and therefore appearing in your reporting.

Happening here too, and ursboller is correct as to why. Is there a way to block this from happening?
