      Description

        If Desktop.open() fails because the target file has no associated, an
        IOException is thrown with the following error message:
          "A device attached to the system is not functioning."

        This is not the correct error message. It should be:
          "There is no application associated with the given file name extension."

        Prior to 7u40, a different (but still incorrect) Exception message was shown:
          "Access is denied."
