If you need a drive letter (some applications don't like UNC style paths that start with a machine-name) you can "map a drive" to a UNC path. Right-click on "My Computer" and select Map Network Drive... or use this command line:
NET USE z: \server\c$\folder1\folder2
NET USE y: \server\d$
Note that you can map drive-to-drive or drill down and map to sub-folder.
