+ [[file:fit.log][fit]]  fit.log   is opened with notepad
+ [[file:../../../a.info][test]]  a.info is not opened: 
  the message error, in Italian, translates in:

eval: ShellExecute failed: None application is associated to the
specified file for this operation

Well, I suspect that org calls the program defined in the mailcap file.

Please check there if you have a program associated to the ".info" extension

cheers,
Giovanni
