I am trying to access "My Network Places" on my work desktop via cmd prompt. However, when I do listing on any directory, "My Network Places" does not show up. Is there a way?
Thanks,

Network places isn't a directory, it's more of an ad hoc listing of visible network devices. You can get a similar listing with the net
command: C:\>net view
. Or use the /?
argument to get a summary of arguments for net
.
If you need a directory listing on another machine, assuming you hae rights on that machine, the format is
dir \\machinename\sharename
Some shares may be hidden and or inaccessible like the defaults C$, D$, etc.
