You might try inserting the forward slashes after file:.


I did, even with multiple slashes and backslashes. I suspect that it is 
not properly translated to texcode.


It would be nice for any user, if the path could be entered into the 
menu - and everything is done. but I am curious to see how it can be 
done (with the current LyX beta version)

Try converting the backslashes to forward slashes.  There's a relevant Wikipedia
