Tore, I am already putting the backslash in my example above. This is not the issue I think. It has something to do with the double forward slashes and the single forward slash between the "adobe" folder and the file name.

Asking for sys(5) + sys(2003) converts backslashes to double forward slashes. And the drive letter is converted to "file:" . Looks like UNC or something but I am not sure what I need to change in order for the path to the file to be correct for IE.
