Tried that, no luck. rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler interprets the " as a character and gets confused because it doesn't know how to handle "file: URI types.
Yes, its that bad. FYI: you can test this stuff from the cmd.exe shell, and take Tcl and Pd out of the equation.

Too add quotes to your command try this:
format ""file:%s"" $file
the string contained in "" contains the excapted quotes "
I hope that does it.

This is win32. rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler doesn't like "file:C:/Program%20Files" from my tests. This is Microsoft we are talking about, they do things their own way, standards be damned.

yuck, URIs don't have spaces, you put one in a web-page you its replaced with %20 in the URI.. I guess you could have to replace spaces with %20 and see if that works.
Try just opening the file in a browser and note the URL it uses to open it.
I assume this happens on win32, but its been too long for me to know...

In u_main.tk, in the procedure menu_openhtml, this little snippet of code does not work when there is a space in the file name (i.e. C:/Program Files/pd/doc), but works fine when there are no spaces:
exec rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler \ [format "file:%s" $filename] &This opens HTML, etc from the menu/help browser, so it would be most helpful to have it working. I have tried a number of things to no avail.
Any Tcl-meisters want to take a stab? Matju?
