Thanks Andy but that did not help either. Or at least I have not found
anything there that helps.


I tried filemon to see what happens. From the log files I can see a difference:

* (w32-shell-execute "open" "file://c:/some.html")

  There is a call to ShellExension in this case.

* (w32-shell-execute nil "file://c:/some.html")

  There is a NO call to ShellExension in this case.


So surprisingly enough a bit more is tried when "open" is used. In my
case I can see that the extensions for WinMerge and Bzr are called. I
think it is Tortoise Bazaar. Previously I had Tortoise SVN. Looks like
any those might be the trouble then.

Drew, it is just you and me that has reported trouble. Do you have any
of those or some other program that integrates itself with Windows
Explorer, or should I say "Shell"?
