Marco, if I run TOPCAT on Windows it sends, for instance, ivo://votech.org/votable/loadFromURL messages with a url argument that looks like this: file://localhost/C:/DOCUME~1/Mark/LOCALS~1/Temp/plastic7533.vot Is this what you're talking about? Windows seems to understand filenames/URLs in that format, in that if I type that URL into the location box of Internet Explorer, it picks up the file. (For java-aware onlookers, this is the kind of File that you get from File.createTempFile() methods.) If that's what you're talking about, then I don't see anything that needs to be fixed. If I'm missing the point (quite possible as I know next to nothing about windows) then please clarify.
