Hello,

I want to make a link line to an address like this one:

\\server\netshare

With older versions of internet explorer it was working very well, but now, alla backslashes are converted into slashes, so the link does not work anymore.

Can you help me please?
Thank you

David
 
have you tried URL encoding the backslash?

"In complete darkness we are all the same, only our knowledge and wisdom separates us, don't let your eyes deceive you."

"If a shortcut was meant to be easy, it wouldn't be a shortcut, it would be the way!
 
or escape the backslashes like [tt][maroon]\\\\server\\netshare[/maroon][/tt]..
