I'm building a page that is going to often end in one more more paths to 
a location on our internal file server.  It would be a nice plus if this 
could be an active anchor link so that users could just click on the 
link rather then any copying and pasting.

Just to be clear this is not a normal link to a HTTP web url.  But 
rather an UNC path to a file server that has no relationship to the web 
server.

I thought this would work if you put 'file://" into the anchor tag, but 
this does not seem to cut it.

Example of the HTML

<a 
href="file://%5C%5Cdprhq01%5CPURCurrent$%5Cpur2008%5Cload_logs%5Cload_log_22-Sep-2009_10h11m37s.txt
 
<view-source:file:///>">\\dprhq01\PURCurrent$\pur2008\load_logs\load_log_22-Sep-2009_10h11m37s.txt</a>

Cutting and pasting an example here, I note the escaping of the slash 
characters.  Could that be a problem?  How to not have that escaped in the HTML?

Here is the CFML for that line.

<a href="file://#remoteDir#\#datayear.name#">#remoteDir#\#datayear.name#</a>
