ok… it’s not the solution i wished for, but it’s kinda working for now..
simply made a php page redirecting to the local folder i wish to.

just create a new php file, save it in ur htdocs or www folder, and especify that link in the URL.
example of how it’s done.
Let’s say i want to link local folder using file protocol. said folder path can be file://whatever/bananas

i create a php file (i will name it teste.php) and save it on www folder. that php file will have this script, and NOTHING ELSE.

<script type=”text/javascript”>
window.location.href=’file://whatever/bananas’;
</script>

now in WP, indicate the php file u created. (in my example the URL would be //nameofserver/test.php

it would automatically assume the http protocol, since it’s located inside ur www folder, and the script would redict u to the local folder..

The only problem of this pseudo-solution is that the browser will now present a blank page, which i don’t want, but i haven’t figured out how to sort that out yet. Some help would be appreciatted.

err… we can’t exactly map a 400Gb server of data in use 24hrs a day ^^

But i don’t think you quite grasped my question. I mean, how come mapping the driver will solve anything? That driver already has permission to everybody in the company…
My problem is WP actually validating the link i try to give. Per example, if i try to add https://www.google.com to the links, it works like i charm.
So, in tha example, i put Google URL in “Bananas” submenu and when i click on it, it opens Google right away.
I just need it to open a local folder, isntead of a internet website.

the system admin is my boss ^^
what exactly shall i ask him to do?

yes.. the folders which i am trying to link have permission to all. And i’m in the admin grp of my company.

admin rights where?
on wordpress?
or on the computer?
