I have an HTML file here with Japanese characters in the name.  When I
double-click it, I get the following error dialog:

"The file /c:/test/???.html cannot be found.
Please check the location and try again."


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an HTML file with pretty much any non-Latin characters in the
filename.  (Copying and pasting from charmap will work well enough.)
2. Double-click this HTML file.

Actual Results:  
"The file /c:/test/???.html cannot be found.
Please check the location and try again."

Expected Results:  
Opened the file. :-)
