Open the file manager and at the bottom right type smb://IP_ADDRESS (replace with the IP address you've been using). When open you can pin it so next time all you need to do is click on it.

If you are looking for the Linux equivalent of Run ( Windows Key + R ) it's Alt + F2
The only problem is that in Windows when you run \\192.168.0.100 it assumes you are asking for the SMB host at that address and it automatically opens explorer to that address. In Linux you have to tell it explicitly what to do:
Alt + F2
then
Code:nautilus smb://192.168.0.100

This ^^^^worls too. Of course, replace the IP address with the one that is your Windows share.Originally Posted by Morbius1
And it's really surprising, at least to me, that you asked the exact same thing almost a year ago - https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2411619 -, didn't gave any feedback to the person trying to help you, and learned nothing meanwhile. Definitely not the way to go, personal opinion.
