I want to make a shortcut-icon on the desktop. my file To-Do.txt on network-device.

Code:
notepad "smb://fritz-nas/fritz.nas/FRITZ/_ Daten/To-Do.txt"

Notepad starts with error message: "File does not exist. Do you want to create a new file?"
What did I do wrong? I'm a newbie.
LG Thomas

Code:
gedit %U 'smb://fritz-nas/fritz.nas/FRITZ/_ Daten/To-Do.txt'
