samba - Apr 2009 - User friendly URLs to shares

I can only imagine this is an FAQ, but it is not in wiki, wiki's faq or 
general samba documentation (the paragraph I read anyway!).

I am looking for a way to make it easy for users to connect to their WWW 
storage SMB shares. I can create a "smb://user@host/share" style URI
in
a WWW page or email for OsX and Linux users. It will ask for password, 
and just work.

But with Windows, I can not get smb:// to work. Is there a good way to 
include the username, hostname and share name for Windows users so it 
will just ask for their password, then open their shared area? Even if I 
have to create a .BAT file I guess.

\\host\share and file://host/share don't seem to work, and has nowhere 
for the username part to be included.

There is no Windows Login going on.

You can encode the username as an arg in the
"net use * \\host\share /user:DOMAIN\username"
