Spaces in path a browser issue?

Ok, believe me i know that its not good to use actual spaces in the path or URI of documents and files. I try to preach hyphes everyday.

BUT some still do which i have no control over.

On our INTRANET, some of our contributors have links to files such as:

file:\\P:\Applications\Production%20Reports\PM\CSAll.xls

I am using IE8 and another on IE7....

what i am finding is that when you hover over the link it adds "25" to the URI...

example: P:\Applications\Production%2520Reports\PM\CSAll.xls

BUT when you click on the link, the browser takes you to:

example: P:\Applications\Production%20Reports\PM\CSAll.xls

without the "25" in there...????

is this a browser issue?

to continue.

i took the "%20" out of the hyperlink in Teamsite in the visual editor.

switched from code to visual view, and back the %20 is added back to the URI. how do i eliminate this %20 from automaticlly getting added to the URI?

becuase the windows servers are not recognizing %20 in the file name, thus displays an error...

anyone?

I think this is browser issue, controlling the spaces, I believe you might have to try the same in Mozilla 2 and see how it controls.
