Linking to a folder on a network drive using a clickbox does not work when publishing to an EXE

I am creating a dashboard that people in my department can use to link to common sites, such as SharePoint, Yammer, etc. I am also linking them to two folders on a shared network drive.

On success of the click box I select Open URL or File and put in the path to the folder \\folder\folder\folder. It works perfectly when I view the project through a browser or publish to HTML5. However when I publish to an .EXE the click boxes no longer work.

Does anyone know why or have a workaround?
