In order to do this you may have to edit texmf.cnf.  I don't know
anything about windows, so it may not be true there, but on unix-ish
systems you have to find this configuration file (it's probably in the
web2c directory of your distribution), and make sure that the
"openin_any" variable is set to "a" in it.  This is a security
feature, and changing the setting the way I suggest disables it.
