FWIW, it looks like file:////myserver/share/WINDOWS/clock.avi is how you'd refer to \myserver\share\WINDOWS\clock.avi.
Where did you get that from? According to this it's wrong:

It should be
file://myserver/share/WINDOWS/clock.avi
i.e. the hosthame part of the path goes into the hostname part of the URI, which makes sense.
If the path uses a drive letter instead, there is no hostname, so that part of the URI is empty, resulting in three consecutive slashes:
file:///c:/WINDOWS/clock.avi
