  1. I think you're doing a great job with all the small utilities to help us, ordinary users, out! And converting special characters in the URL is a good topic, especially for countries, where such characters are vastly in use, like Russia, for example. Wish you good luck your beginnings!

  2. Hm, I can't make it work here on Vista Home Premium with default browser Chrome 1.0.154.48 (newest updated version as I write this).

    Nothing happens when I execute

    encodeURL.exe test

    in the folder where encodeURL.exe lives.

  3. @Jesper - "test" is not a URL, so it will not work.

    You have to pass a full url with the http:// part and all.

    try testing it with this:

    encodeURL.exe "http://www.google.com"
