I raised a problem in this post:

It appears that TextPad gives an error when opening an Internet Path to a local file if the file or folder linked includes a plus sign, '+'. Yet Notepad++ has no such problem.

Is there perhaps a setting I can change that will avoid this issue please?

The plus sign is a reserved character in the URI encoding - the URI should be encoded properly (i.e. encoding each plus sign as %2B, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-e ... characters ). The culprit is having 2 slightly different standards and strictly speaking Notepad++ is prefering one over the other - the plus sign itself was historically used to replace a blank - that's what TextPad might do backwards (unexpected to you).

Just properly encode URIs and try again. Didn't visit your external link.
