I am using Emacs on Linux and would want to know how to access my Windows shared folders from Emacs. I am able to perform this operation using nautilus (gnome file manager).
Windows shared folders are usually samba shares which can be accessed using tramp. You can find the relevant part in the tramp documentation here in the "smb -- smbclient" subsection. The correct syntax should be something along the lines of
/smb:USER%DOMAINNAME@HOST:/REMOTEPATH
