No. File URLs always start with "file://". But note that this is not simply a prefix. The rest of the URL must follow the URL rules for an absolute path: The path must start with a slash ('/'), path components are separated with a forward slash ('/') [even on windows you have to use this rather than a backslash] and many characters are considered special and have to be escaped.

Thus the windows path "C:\Documents And Settings\myname\my paper.sxw" becomes "file:///C:/Documents%20And%20Settings/myname/my%20paper.sxw". Possibly you can also use the optional 'host' part of a file URL to refer to files on the network. That is, the windows path "\\myserver\myshare\whatever" becomes "file://myserver/myshare/whatever".

Thanks a lot, that was what I have searched for :)
