Hi,

recently my UNC links stopped working; I am not sure it was supposed to 
ever work but not it does no longer ;(

I have links, say, [[\\server\share\some\dir\]] which (on win32) would 
open an explorer at the location. This is pretty handy; I use to have a 
resources heading for my projects which get me to the relevant places fast.

Now, UNC links get me an error saying something like "file not found" 
right in emacs.

So, how do I get it to open links without emacs-side checks interfering?

I searched the docs but no luck.

Cheers,

Simon

However 
(dired-at-point "//myserver/dir")  
then C-x C-e at the end of the line is really a killer (provided you read dired's manual).

cannot reproduce.

[[\\myserver\dir]]

I guess I'll retry with forward slashes - although it did not work for 
me without trailing backslash either.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try tomorrow!

Just to confirm it worked today, albeit after update.

Cheers,
