Sure thing.

First, make sure your weather monitor is using the Proxomitron proxy (localhost, port 8080).

Then, in the URL, put something like:

http://cmd.file///C|/LoadMe.txt

Which would load the file C:\LoadMe.txt

Note the vertical bar | after the drive letter, which replaces the :

I'm also starting to write a VB script (which I run in Samurize) to decode METAR data to get current weather conditions. This would allow things like day/night icons (based on sunrise/sunset data), trends for temperature, barometer, etc, windchill, heat index, and maybe some other goodies. I'll keep you guys updated.

Enjoy!
Rick.
