I don't know of a web site that doesn't use the http:// or https:// prefix, though some lack the www. Removing the http:// or https:// prefix invalidates the hyperlink as a URL so far as Word is concerned, though I'm not sure why it would get the filename: prefix instead - that doesn't happen on my system.
