However, this feature may be configurable. I tried this, but there doesn't seem to be any real difference, as just writing file: (directly) in the JSPWiki link results in HTML code that is practically identical with that produced by the WindowsShare explained above (just two instead of three slashes.) The browser behavior is identical, too. Apparently, something else is needed to make the browser launch an application when needed (according to file type), which is what I'm after here.
