In any case, try this form:
tell application "Finder" open location "file:///Users/yennie/Desktop/test.html" end tell
The trick seems to be adding the browser-style protocol to the front for local files: "file://"
You should have 3 slashes total- the third is part of the file path.

Uh, Brian... he mentioned a "local file" not a web site. Will this still

Yep, the same ol' question: how do I launch a local file in the default browser on Mac OS X?
And for future reference: Where is the definitive answer archived?
