XYplorer Beta Club
Steps to reproduce
1. Create a new catalog item pointing to some file on your local computer, but use a URL instead of a Windows file address (ie. start with file:/// and use forward slashes instead of backslashes).
Actual results:
XYplorer says "Couldn't find path or file..."
Expected results:
XYplorer should open this file in the default browser.

READ THIS AND DO IT!!!
Please include the following information:
1) Your XYplorer Version (e.g., v28.00.0801)
2) Your Windows Version (e.g., Win 11)
3) Your Screen Scaling Percentage (e.g., 125%).
We strongly recommend adding your Windows Version and Screen Scaling Percentage to the Location field in your Profile or to your Signature. That way, you only have to type them once, and we won't have to search for that vital information.

! Address Bar and Catalog now support the file:/// protocol. I have these files executed by the Shell, so http[s]:// URLs are opened by your default browser whereas file:/// URLs are opened by the associated application.
