I hoped to have a Windows box available for testing but still don't have any. I yet have to reactivate an external drive which hosts my virtual machines. Looking at the code of LocalLink, I don't think that the extension introduces this behaviour. If you put your links into local files (so that you can use ordinary clicks, without my extension) then the same slash mania should be required for links to work. I think it's due to the general scheme for URLs: proto://host/path In your case, host is left empty, you could use localhost as well. UNC paths themselves are of the form //server/share/restofthepath. All of this together adds up to 5 slashes in the beginning.

LocalLink solves the problem by giving you those context menu entries, which worked in your case. In principle I could change LocalLink so that ordinary clicks on local links would work, but I consider that dangerous. The fact that the checkload uri preference has been effectively removed goes to show that I'm not alone with that opinion. I see two options for you: 1) Use LocalLink and the context menu. 2) Use the new CAPS feature: Using CAPS preferences you can allow certain websites to open local links. A quick glance at Zilverline gives me the impression that it's one single website which would need access to your local files, and that's the perfect scenario for CAPS. Regards, Michael
