When I double-click a local file the URL in netsurf (r10592) still
starts file:///IDEFS and has the colons and dollar sign replaced by
%3A and %24 respectively
<file:///IDEFS%3A%3AHardDisc4.%24/Ant/Archery/www_panda-bowmen_org_uk/Basic~20Tu
ning.htm>
The more readable version
<file:///IDEFS::HardDisc4.$/Ant/Archery/www_panda-bowmen_org_uk/Basic~20Tuning.h
tm> also works fine.
I think the directory separator dots need to be replaced with slashes,
eg <file:///ADFS::IYO4.$/~Mine/WFF/!WildFlowers/Flowers/Y/YellowStagsh
orn/YellowStagshorn.htm>
Does this help?
