Windows URL File Opener

Opens windows .url files in the default browser on Linux.

Usage

  • Add url_file_opener.py to path.

  • Set the default program for opening windows .url files to url_file_opener.py.

Dependencies

Python 3: Download link

Notes

  • This uses xdg-open to open links in the default browser. Python's built in webbrowser.open often fails to find the default browser and opens in a "random" browser instead.

  • Wine can open .url files but it tends to be slow. This script has much lower overhead.
