Some application must have displayed the link you tried to click, but you didn’t list anything in the “any other software” section. Alas, this means we can’t actually help.

Okay, just tried it on my work computer and seems to be working. Something is obviously going on with the computer I used last night. I apologize. All is well. Sorry for the bogus ticket.

Is there a way to get this to work for opening html files on remote computers? If I type "& \UNC\to\file.html" it will open, and if I try to plug that in to this function it attempts to link it but it doesn't open.
