Format for File Name

I want to place the location of a file that I am going to read into my config
file, but I can not remember the proper format for "share name, folder
name". I thought I would specify something like
"file///MyShareName/MyFolderName" but it does not like this format and a
couple other variations of that format. What is the correct format to
specify?

URI format:
file:///C:/folder/test.htm

UNC format:
\\server\share\folderOrFile\File.htm
