Hallo Sakari, I guess this is for security reasons, because file:// doesn't necessarily mean your computer, but the page requester's computer in general.
I've once been experimenting with this and used the following InterWiki link in jspwiki.properties: jspwiki.interWikiRef.WindowsShare = file:///%s You can then define a link via [WindowsShare:c:/bla/xyz.txt] in your wiki pages. This link then appears correctly in the HTML code, but it seems as if modern browsers block it (clicking on it doesn't do anything in IE7 and Firefox 2). However, this feature may be configurable.
