Suppose I have

    AnsiString UrlStr = "file://" + ExtractFilePath(Application->ExeName) + "myfile.htm";
    ShellExecute(NULL,"open",UrlStr.c_str(),0,0,SW_SHOWDEFAULT);

That works. But if I have:

    AnsiString UrlStr = "file://" + ExtractFilePath(Application->ExeName) + 
"myfile.htm#HotKeys";
    ShellExecute(NULL,"open",UrlStr.c_str(),0,0,SW_SHOWDEFAULT);

or:

    AnsiString UrlStr = "file://" + ExtractFilePath(Application->ExeName) + 
"myfile.htm%23HotKeys";
    ShellExecute(NULL,"open",UrlStr.c_str(),0,0,SW_SHOWDEFAULT);

then the browser (Mozilla FireFox) doesn't get invoked.

I suspect the #Hotkeys or the %23HotKeys is preventing the file from being recognized 
as appropriate for a browser. How to route the shell execution call to the browser?
