I think what you want is that instead of :

http:// -> webbrowsing
Anything else -> file management

the logic becomes :

http:// or *.html -> webbrowsing
Anything else -> file management

I've been wondering myself about that already :)

The reason for not doing it was that from a local .html file, one
could want to go to a local directory... but, well, not really a reason :)
Should I change it to the second logic ?
