Go to Control Panel

  • change the view by to small icons
  • select "User Accounts"
  • select "Manage your credentials"
  • select "Windows Credentials"
  • then "Add a Windows Credential"

 

Now enter your UNC server and share path for example: \\UNCServer\SharedFolder 

Username and password, then click OK.

Now you should be able to access your UNC share from the windows explorer shell.
