How to access the Windows 7 shared folders

Question

I'm a little new to Ubuntu, but I'm lovin' it so far :)

I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed om my older desktop and connected with a wire. My (newer) laptop has windows 7 running and has all my music. I'd like to access the music and play it on the desktop.

This should be possible since it's a shared folder in Windows 7, but I have no clue how to access these files from my Linux machine.

Solution

If you open your Home Folder you can access your Network by clicking on Browse Network in the bottom left corner. From there you can access all your shared folders. I access my Desktop running Windows 8 like this. :)

@MrSeed Do you need to make any changes to the Win 7 machine as well? I've enabled sharing on it but Ubuntu cannot seem to logon. It repeatedly asks for the login but no errors - nothing.
