How to mount a Windows share in Linux

Here is an example of how to connect to a Windows share from Linux:

>mkdir -p /mnt/winShare
>mount -t cifs //192.168.x.x/e$ /mnt/winShare -o username=Administrator

First put in the connection information in Linux style notation //IP/ShareName. The share can be a root directory, like the e$ above, or it can be any other defined share on the server.
