I'm working with Emacs 24.4.1 and org-mode 8.2.10 on Windows 7.

I have to use hyperlinks to our network servers like \\servername\dir1\dir2 and unfortunately I can not use them in hyperlinks in Emacs org-mode, I then get the error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "ShellExecute failed: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.")
w32-shell-execute("open" "\\\\servername\\dir1\\dir2")
eval((w32-shell-execute "open" file))

It seems that Emacs automatically replaces each backslash with a double backslash.

How can I change that so that it is working?

Kind regards

Martin
