i have my pc setup as 192.168.1.100 and have multiple drives on it ie

d:\tvstuff
e:\movies
e:\mp3

i am trying to do a direct bookmark for those likes so i have tried


<bookmark>
<name>mp3</name>
<path>smb://192.168.1.100/e/mp3/</path>
</bookmark>


but when i go into that bookmark it states that its a invalid path.

can someone help me figure out what the path might look like ?

my usually smb://192.168.1.100 works fine if i just navigate into the right directories.

thanks

suppose that you have drive e: and the folder you want to share is mymusic
you have to write:

<bookmark>
<name>mp3</name>
<path>smb://192.168.1.100/myshare/</path>
</bookmark>

you example is wrong if e is not a network share which i doubt deeply...

smb://192.168.1.100/sharename/path/from/shareroot

when you set up a share in windows, you have to give it a name. the share name is the first part of the path. and then the path that follows is based off the root of the share (which does not have to be the root of the drive)

for example, lets say you share e:\mp3 as "music". then you setup your music bookmark like this:

smb://192.168.1.100/music/
