an improvement:
write a template called "f" (for "file) that will automatically added the "file:///" (or "file:///Z:") at the beginning. Then your users will type something like:
{{f|Z:/my project/final results.pdf}}
Less to type, and you don't have to keep track of how many slashes you put after the "file:". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Haim (Howard) Roman Computer Center, Jerusalem College of Technology Phone: 052-8-592-599 (6022 from within Machon Lev)

Right now I am using string replacement extension and created a template called "Delspace" with following function:
{{#replace:{{{1}}}| |%20}}
and I am using the template in our wiki articles like this (for example): [{{delspace|file///Z:/my project/final results.pdf}} Link to results.pdf]
