Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / December 2003

I work for a school and everyone uses PC's except the elementary school.
Some one sent out an email that had a link in it that when clicked on a
Windows computer opened an explorer window with the contents of a network
folder.  But the Mac users got an error message page.  I have not looked at
it yet but my boss said Web Browsers on  Macs  automatically put the http:\\
in front of everything thus the error message.  As a side note we do have
use a proxy in order to access the internet.

Does any one know of a setting I can change to make a link like this work on
a Mac?  \\Facualty\admin\policies  and have the policies folders content
appear so that a user could then open say a word document found there.

Thanks for help you can give me.
