@aivanov-jdk @TejeshR13 
This seems stalled because there are conflicting statements
- Alexei : you can create a custom FIleSystemView on windows with <html> in path names.
- Tejesh : no you can't, or at least it doesn't work when you try to use it.

Can we please get that reconciled ?
Tejesh pls show the code you used, and Alexei please show how you would do it.
