Actually 'index' is the default on a web folder so you don't need to enter
the index.html in the url. For example when visiting my site you type in
www.davidbartosik.com rather than www.davidbartosik.com/index.html (actually
mine is default.asp but that's not relevant). So www.myname.com/aboutus is
sufficient and normal practice.

For it to make the link that way I would be willing to bet that you aren't
entering the "http://" prefix.
Also double-check you aren't using make a lnk within the file, but rather to
internet.
I think you are failing to enter the http://
Also it is not a good idea to use uppercase and lowercase file names.
it's recommended practice to use all lowercase.

all bad ideas.

any file can link to any file.
I detailed this in the article.
