[Moin-user] External file links

[Bradey Honsinger]

Close--at least on Win2K, you should switch the backslashes to forward
slashes and add one or two more after "file:/". For files on a local drive,
you need three slashes:
    file:///C:/Program%20Files/Accessories/MSPAINT.EXE
For files on a Windows server, you just need two:
    file://machine/share/folder/file

Well that creates the right link but for some reason this doesn't work on
windows.  Any clues?

>>What about paths with spaces in them? For example
>>"file:\somemachine\some department name\Development\J2EE Development Study
>>Group"
>"file:\somemachine\some%20department%20name\Development\J2EE%20Development%
20Study%20Group"
