                This should work:
                
                <ulink
url="file://server/shared-folder/">\\server\shared-folder</ulink>
                


        I'm no expert here, but when I create a file URL for a link on
our intranet (for access via a browser), I have to do ...
        
        file://///server/share/folder/file.ext
        
        Yep. 5 /
        
        The protocol part is file:///
        
        Followed by the UNC name but with the \ change to /
        
        So
        
        //server/share/folder/file.ext
        
        sort of thing.
        
        Hope this helps.
