Question File not found using LinkClickedEvent from a richtext box with leading underscore in filename

[bigsagal]

private void Link_Clicked (object sender, System.Windows.Forms.LinkClickedEventArgs e) {
    try {
        System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(e.LinkText);
    } catch {
        MessageBox.Show("The following could not be found:\n\n"+e.LinkText,"Not found");
    }

I use the above code to link to websites or to local files on my pc from within a richtextbox. However, the link fails if the filename begins with an underscore. For example, file://c:\folder\file_name.txt works but file://c:\folder\_file_name.txt won't. Bug? Please don't tell me to avoid using leading underscores because my wife does it everywhere.

If you catch the actual exception instead of assuming that the exception is "file not found", the exception's message might actually show why the Process.Start() failed.
