But more importantly, if you use mouse-3 to follow a file link, or equivalently if you follow the link with a prefix argument like `C-u C-c C-o' or `C-u RET' (the latter if you have turned on org-return-follows-link) then the file will always be opened in Emacs. Maybe I need to make org-file-apps to accept regular expressions, not just extensions for identifying file types.... > > Also you probably want to perform an (expand-file-name) on local file > names under windows.
