You don't need drive letters.
If the name of the Laptop is "mylaptop" and if the account "name" & password
you are using on the machine you are sitting at matches an account "name" &
password on the laptop,...and if the account on the laptop is an
"administrator" then from the "Run" line off the Start Menu you can type
"\\mylaptop\c$\Program Files"
If it opens in Explorer properly you can drag the Icon from the Address Bar
to a location on the machine such as the Desktop or the My Documents folder.
From that point on when you open a Browse dialog you can navigate through
the Shortcut you created as if it was a Folder on the local machine.
