Hello


A quick look at the code shows that there is no such configuration
setting.
A change like the (untested) below patch would _probably_ allow to
change that character to something else.

How are those shares mounted? If the clients have a permanent
connection, maybe you can automatically mount the shares and create the
links on user login. 


Kind regards
