Connecting to a Windows File Share from a Mac

Here's a quickie: A lot of Mac users are on Windows networks, and need to sometimes connect to a shared folder on their network to share/retrieve documents with other Windows users. The easiest way to do this is to type in the path to the shared folder in the "Connect to Server..." dialog box. To do this, just:
- Switch to the Finder.
- Choose the "Connect to Server..." menu option in the Go menu (or press Command-K).
- Type in the path to your windows shared folder as follows:
smb://SERVER_NAME/share-name/folder-name
