   My favorite way is to pull up a console window, and use the "net use"   
   command.  So, if your remote computer is "John_B" with share called   
   "share_B" and you're on "John_A" or whatever, the command is "net use *   
   \\john_b\share_b".  That will give you a drive designation, like "f:" on   
   John_A for accessing the remote share.  To get rid of it, the command is   
   "net use f: /delete".
