How do I format an HTML anchor tag to link to a shared network folder?

I tried the following and it does not like it.

<a href="file:\\myserver\myfolder\myfile.docx">My Shared Folder</a>

Try this URL:

<a href="file://///myserver/myfolder/myfile.docx">

I think it should formatted like this:

file:///TheComputerNameOrIpAddress/FolderName/myFile.docx

I'm not 100% sure that will work, but it's worth a shot. Good luck.
