c# open url in chrome with hash (#)

I'm trying to open a url in Chrome from c# and retain the hash (#). Example:

string command = "http://127.0.0.1/test.html#foobar";
ProcessStartInfo ps = new ProcessStartInfo(command) { UseShellExecute = true };
Process.Start(ps);

Everything after and including the hash (#) is lost when starting the process. I can run Chrome manually from the command prompt including the hash in the url

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application>chrome.exe 127.0.0.1/test.html#foobar

and the hash is retained when the default browser is set to IE or FireFox.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

test.html:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Test</h1>
<div style="height:1000px; background: #ccc; width: 100%"></div>
<a name="foobar">foobar</a>
</body>
</html>

Note: I do not want to presume the user wants to use chrome, I need this to work in what ever the users default browser is. It works when the user's default browser is IE or Fire Fox, but the hash is lost when the users default browser is Chrome.

The command to open a URL in the default browser is start myURL, not just myURL.

You'll need to execute the command:

start "127.0.0.1/test.html#foobar"

Note that the quotes need to be in the resulting string, not in C#; the C# code for that would be:

string command = @"start" + @"""127.0.0.1/test.html#foobar""";
