In Windows, the ':' character is included in 'isfname' so that you can use paths like "C:\Path\To\File.txt".

If you use ":set isfname-=:" you can use gF like you want but you may get surprises with some of the absolute paths like above.

As an alternative, use a different separator, like '|', in place of ':'.
