I also noticed this earlier today when I was looking at bug 22929.

My solution was to modify shlexec.c::SHELL_execute to rip off the prefix from
the path, if it was present, and then just fall through to the normal code.

I'd submit the patch, but it was written quite hastily after a couple of
glasses and I do not wish to lower my Julliard-rank.  :)  I ran into subsequent
tougher problems with the app I was trying to fix, and don't intend to submit
any patches until I can get it all working.  I currently would not bet any
money on that happening.

If anyone wants to submit a proper patch for this one item, please note that
some Windows apps (like NClauncher) appear to send 'file:\' as the prefix
instead of 'file:///'.

Remember also ignore case. (FILE:///)

I have updated sample exe, it's possible to test any prefix.

I'm preparing patches so ShellExecute() handles 'file:' URLs.
