[chandler-users] URLs in detail area

[Rick Rawson]

Being able to reference files on my local machine is a useful 
application of URLs in the details area. So, I did a little testing to 
see what was feasible...

FILE TYPES
file:///C:/temp/temp.txt    (access local .txt file)
file:///C:/temp/letter.doc  (access local .doc file)
file:///C:/temp/temp.pdf    (access local .pdf file)

APPLICATIONS
file:///C:/Program%20files/Microsoft%20Office/OFFICE11/winword.exe   
(launches MS Word)

NAMES WITH SPACES
file:///C:/My%20Documents/temp.txt  (path with %20 works, but...)
file:///C:/My Documents/temp.txt    (path with space fails)

SLASHES
file:///C:\My%20Documents\temp.txt (direction of slashes is irrelevant)
