Pass arguments when using the File protocol

Answer 1

I am assuming you are using Windows? If so, there is no way to pass a parameter using the "file://" syntax, as it is an Asynchronous Pluggable Protocol that does not accept parameters.

However, if you really need it, you can craft your own pluggable protocol that accepts parameters.

Here's an example:

An Asynchronous Pluggable Protocol Handler for data: URLs

Answer 2

You can pass on the arguments using # (hash) symbol.
