The default protocol in a browser is http. If you're not running a server on 
your local machine,  you need to specify a different protocol.  Try


file:///f:/test.html

I also don't run Windows any more so I might have the drive letter part wrong.

Vista Compatibility

[DaveA]

There was a thread about this about a year ago, but I wanted to see if
anyone could clarify this question for me - what is the first
officially sanctioned version of Python that is known to be fully
working under Windows Vista? The best I could find is some indications
that point to 2.5 being the first.

I'm asking because we have a Python 2.3.4 runtime for an application
that we're now looking into running on Vista.

Thanks!
