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.
