Which url you use to embed your image file to your localhost. You have to use http://localhost/im/image_name.JPG also if you do that thing then try to open them in browser with this url. if They open clear cache of your browser. And open your localhost again. If it show you same thing. That must be cause by .htaccess and show your  .htaccess code here

You should use http://localhost/mywebsite/image.jpeg above url to open image file in browser. If it open use this url instead of just writing image.jpge This is wrong syntax C:/xampp/htdocs/mywebsite/image.jpeg on localhost.

Does this below urls return 404 error. http://localhost/mywebsite/image.jpeg http://localhost/mywebsite/file.css if it show you an error than show your .htaccess code that is outside of your mywebsite folder.
