Anyone had any success with <Desktop>.open() in 1.6?

I've been playing around with the new Desktop class in 1.6. I've
gotten the mail() and browse() methods to work as advertised, but
not the open() method. Example code:
import java.awt.Desktop;
import java.io.*;
public class DesktopTest
{
public static void main ( String[] args )
{
System.out.println( "Desktop supported?: " +
Desktop.isDesktopSupported() );
Desktop desk = Desktop.getDesktop();
try
{
File file = new File( "d:\\basic.txt" );
System.out.println( "File exists?: " + file.exists() );
desk.open( file );
}
catch( IOException exc )
{
System.out.println( exc.getMessage() );
}
}
}
Both println's display "true", but I get no window, no exception,
no nuttin'. Also tried the edit() method with same results. Text
files are associated with Notepad on my system. If I double-click
basic.txt in Windows Explorer, Notepad opens.
