For shares that doesn't require login, I can list files without doing
anything. Remember that Windows might try some saved password in the
background when you open the folder in explorer, so not seeing a
password-prompt might not be the same thing as the share not needing
login.

Perhaps "net use \\mongo\code" would have been a better example than
using explorer? I don't have the setup where I am right now to test
that it does what I expect it to, though.
