Question Connecting to Windows Share with many directories

Hi,
i am running Fedora 17 32bit LXDE and i need to connect to windows share server that has many directories in root. I know how to connect using gigolo, but i need to provide share point, name of directory i.e. //192.168.200.200/inbox but there are many other directories and i have to create a few dozens of bookmarks in gigolo. I need something like in windows when i just type //192.168.200.200 in Run box and it displays me all folders in windows explorer. In past i was trying CentOs and i was able to do that by creating shortcut and setting command to something like this smb://192.168.200.200 if i remember well but now it dont work. I switched to LXDE because laptop is slow. Is there any other method to access windows share server root? thx.

Re: Connecting to Windows Share with many directories

If you connect using a windows user with administrator privileges on the windows computer, and if it supports the built-in Administrative share, you can try a share like //192.168.0.100/c$ to share the root of a disk.

Of course, file & printer sharing needs to be enabled in the windows firewall.
