Windows is providing sharing a folder or more ability to gives us an easy way to exchange our files to others. But there is not easy to display other client shared folder list.

But don't worry you can empower the net tool. Net is a great tool to manage your networking business. Because net command is a MSDOS command, to use it you have to open MSDOS Console first.
To open MSDOS Console, click Start - Run menu (or your also can press Windows + R keys), type cmd in box and press Enter. I've wrote about net command at otakatik.com to send a message to others with it.
At MS DOS prompt type net view //computer_name and then press Enter. For example: if you want display a computer which has name:server_1st, type net view //server_1st then press Enter to display all server_1st shared folder.
It's so easy, isn't it?

    You can also open up an explorer window and type in //computer_name in the address bar. That's usually where I go to see what another computer is sharing.

    Yup, you're right bro. You can also open it through Run dialog, press Windows + R keys to open Run menu then type //computer_name to open its shared folders and printers directly without open Windows Explorer first.
