Browse network-shared Windows files with Pocket Internet Explorer

Here’s a cool little trick that lets you browse your shared Windows files on your Windows Mobile smartphone. If you’ve got a WiFi enabled WinMo smartphone and a wireless home-network, then you’re al set to start browsing your PC’s collection of “movies.”
Simply point your Pocket Internet Explorer to file://computername. “Computername” is the name of your host computer (where the shared files are stored). No need for extra software or settings.
Go try it out, it’s pretty cool.

you made it so simple..wonderfull..how to play the music from there
I have a Treo 800w with WM6.1. When I try this it automatically changes from “file://servername” to “file://\\servername\” and then fails.
enter file://computername/sharename
where sharename is name you gave to the network share, may not be name of folder. eg file://Xp-pro1/loox
No sharename gave an error.
