Your question is Windows centric, so here is a Windows only solution:
**  Here is a pure Windows solution
**  Run the code and you will be taken to a tutorial that may provide
**  a more generic solution
public class WindowsFileProtocolHandler
     public static void main(String[] args)
          throws Exception
          String[] cmd = new String[4];
          cmd[0] = "cmd.exe";
          cmd[1] = "/C";
          cmd[2] = "start";
          cmd[3] = "http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip66.html";
//          cmd[3] = "will.xls";
//          cmd[3] = "mailto:";
//          cmd[3] = "a.html";
//          cmd[3] = "file:/c:/java/temp/a.html";
          Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd );
}
