Export and Re-Import of Bing Tiles

1. I have exported some tiles using Export> Export Web Format> Bing Maps (Virtual Earth Tiles> with the following parameters:
Zoom 11, 5 Zoom Levels, .jpg, All data visible on screen
to:
R:\_data\Documents\Public Documents\BingTiles
I get a bunch of tiles such as 3000322310.jpg, 3000322311.jpg etc... in the BingTiles folder. So far so good.
When I try to add the same folder as an Online Data Source I am doing the following:
Add New Source> Google Maps Tiles> file://R:/_data/Documents/Public%20Documents/BingTiles/%quad
.jpg, Zoom level 11, Web Mercator and have left the Bounding box at the defaults.
I then give it a source name and try to connect, but recive nothing to display.
I am guessing their is something wrong with the following URL:
file://R:/_data/Documents/Public%20Documents/BingTiles/%quad
Can you please let me know what the correct format is to retrieve locally stored Bing/VE type tiles?
Thanks,
Bruce.

Bruce,
If you use a custom URL you have to also add the file extension. So just add .jpg to the end of your URL and I think it should work.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Thanks,

Thanks Mike - that works...
For the benefit of anybody else viewing this post, the custom URL for the above example is:
file://R:/_data/Documents/Public%20Documents/BingTiles/%quad.jpg
