Any link in the form of //something has the current protocol prepended to it. If you are on a HTTP site such as http://microsoft.com and click on a link to //msdn.microsoft.com you are in reality making a request for http://msdn.microsoft.com /. used to use these links all over the place, to save some bytes I guess. The results by clicking on your link to //test/test depends on the security zone you are in. If you are in the Internet Zone you will be asking for http://test/test , if you are in the My Computer zone you will be asking for file://test/test which gets translated into \\test\test.

Restarting IE is required after clicking on the link. <A HREF="//test/test">Lock up Internet Explorer</A> The form of the link just has to be //*/* as far as I tried it. The IE version I used was 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633CO. CYA -- "Sie haben neue Mails!" - Die GMX Toolbar informiert Sie beim Surfen!
