GSFinder will do it I think. File menu.
Just provide it a UNC and it should browse away. Win CE has fairly good Network Drive support.

I've never tried this myself, just know the theory from a programming point of view. But check out:

for details on what a UNC is. If you've got a Windows network setup, it should be straight forward.

I've always just done:

Start->Programs->File Explorer

Clicked on open down the bottom then typed in the path in the form of:

\\computername\sharename

For instance

\\mylaptop\games

i use resco file explorer and map the shared folders.
