I am trying to access "My Network Places" on my work desktop via cmd prompt. However, when I do listing on any directory, "My Network Places" does not show up. Is there a way?

Thanks,

Network places isn't a directory, it's more of an ad hoc listing of visible network devices. You can get a similar listing with the net command: C:\>net view. Or use the /? argument to get a summary of arguments for net.

If you need a directory listing on another machine, assuming you hae rights on that machine, the format is

dir \\machinename\sharename

Some shares may be hidden and or inaccessible like the defaults C$, D$, etc.
