At our office we use mediawiki as our intranet portal. Some of our departments like Sales, Support, etc use it to manage files on the network. They often link to Word/Excel documents with a file:// uri. The issue is everybody uses different browsers, ie explorer, Firefox, chrome. Often they cannot download files (link not working in certain browsers, browser security settings, etc). Is there a way to fix this for everybody without having to install additional software or change settings on each PC?

If possible I would like to keep linking to these local network files. I'd rather not upload them to google docs (extra work!) and use a share-link so it's just http.

Are you using the mediawiki way of posting links?

This might help with your issue, since MediaWiki chooses the way it is displayed.
