Bad example. McKirahan should have said:

C:\test.asp?A=a&B=b&C=c

This will guarantee that no web server will be involved and the test should
result in a "not found" message ... at least it does for me.

But that fails to address the OP's question. Remember? He wanted to open a
..htm file containing a querystring from a hard drive - no web server
involved.

Again, submitting requires a web server.
