To my knowledge, [a] file:absolute_path_starting_with_a_slash and [b] file://absolute_path_starting_with_a_slash e.g. file:/C:/Program%20Files/XMLmind/XML_Editor/preferences.properties and file:///C:/Program%20Files/XMLmind/XML_Editor/preferences.properties are both correct. We would have preferred [b] but *Java* always generates [a]. Therefore there is not much we can do.
