It may just not be an option for VSCode extensions to modify the path of files when other (non-extension) actions are acting on the file. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case. I would have the same assumption as you that this would "just work." I expected that since we're using the "Remote - WSL" extension in this case, the extension would have handled the path translation. I can reproduce this, and I'm honestly a (little) bit surprised by it. Will this affect my web site in the future? Will it cause hosting problems? How can I fix this? I am confused as to why this is happening and the long term consequences of this.

But when it is like this: file://wsl%24/Ubuntu/home/pypy/books/paper.html

Why can't I just open it in VSC? It is not finding it in the browser that way. However, when I then right-click on the HTML file and open it via Reveal in Explorer and then copy and paste the URL from there into the browser, it works. When I copy the path from the HTML file in VSCode and try to paste it in the browser it still does not work. It may have been moved, edited, or deleted. I get the following error message: File Not Found. However, when I put the code inside the HTML5 template and try to run it, it does not open in my browser. to begin working on an HTML project in VSCode Created a directory for my code and cd'd to it.
