accessing Network shares w/o mapping to driveletter?

[coyote]

Is "the" only way to access my shared folders on other networked computers, to map drive letters to each folder using Tools menu|"Connect to network drive..." ?

Given that there are 'only' 26 letters in the alphabet, I was hoping for something more like in WindowsExplorer where (now in WinXP Pro sp3) I find all the folders in

My Network Places/Entire Network/Microsoft Windows Network/<LAN name>/<computername>/

without expending limited drive letters.

I love FC, even though (in case this matters) I'm using it in a view (IIRC a 1-pane view) that looks like WinExplorer does:

Use "desktop" as base folder for the tree and you can access "Network" from FC.

Sweet, this is perfect for me in every way (given my apparent wish for a WinExplorer-type look/feel), thank you very much for a better solution/reply than I could have hoped for, joby_toss!
