	That was my thought so I tried .* figuring anything between the quotes 
was okay. I still didn't work.  I'm finding work arounds for more most 
of them so it's not that big a deal.  It's just that at work I've got 
links like File:\\server\some dir\some other dir\pain in the butt.xls. 
Mostly I've been doing 
[[File:\\server\some%20dir\some%20other%20dir\pain%20in%20the%20butt.xls 
File:\\server\some dir\some other dir\pain in the butt.xls]] which is a 
pain in the butt to create but works and looks right for the users.

File:"\\server\some dir\some other dir\pain in the butt.xls" would be 
very much easier on me. :-)

For the curious, File: is localmap to file: which IE will use to open 
excel, folders or whatever other M$ products you've got laying around. I 
didn't just type "file:" because then PmWiki wouldn't link it.
