I have a file, C:\test.html, on my Windows 2000 machine. Opening the url "C:\test.html?somevariable=somevalue" I get what I would call "normal" behavior, and I can set the environment variables.

If I do the same on my windows XP machine running windows explorer I get "Cannot find file C:\test.html%3fsomevariable=somevalue". Anyone have any suggestions as to:

1. What is wrong with doing this this way?

2. Why this won't work.

It's uri encoding the query for sfatey reasons. Try:
file:/C:/test.html?somvar=val
