Please add "\" and "$" to the external links parser to make the software usable
in Windows based intranets. "\" is needed for host based pathes like
\\servername\path\file and the "$" character is used for "hidden" network shares
in Windows.
This can be accomplished by changing function subReplaceExternalLinks in
includes\parser.php, so that
		$uc = "A-Za-z0-9_\\/~%\\-+&*#?!=()@\\x80-\\xFF\\\\\\$";
instead of
		$uc = "A-Za-z0-9_\\/~%\\-+&*#?!=()@\\x80-\\xFF";
where the change is "\\\\" and "\\$" and by
		$fnc = 'A-Za-z0-9_.,~%\\-+&;#*?!=()@\\x80-\\xFF\\\\\\$';
instead of
		$fnc = 'A-Za-z0-9_.,~%\\-+&;#*?!=()@\\x80-\\xFF';

With these changes the software works fine in a Windows installation at our company.
