    ok i see what you are trying to do;

    in order for this to work, the acount that is running the services will need domain admin priviledges in order to browse to the default shares like \\machinename\c$

    but it's still a variation of what i pisted, except using host_name(0 instead of the serverproperty:

    declare @path varchar(255)

    set @path = 'C:\Program Files\CScrew'

    select '\\' + convert(varchar(255),host_name()) + '\' + REPLACE(@path,':\','$\')

    the host_name() would resolve to whatever machine is connecting...hopefully from within the smae network/domain the server is on.
