How do I connect to a network share via the Windows Command Prompt?
use net use, example:
net use X: \\SERVER\Share
Where X: is the drive letter you wish to map the share to, and \\SERVER\Share is the UNC path to the share. This should make the share visible in My Computer and the command line as well like all other shares mapped through the GUI.

How to Rdp to a Hyper-V VM (Locally hosted)
The problem:
Although you can access your vm directly from a hyper-v vm viewer by double click on the vm, the window size is pretty limited and doesn't allow easy copy and paste.
The solution:
Setup a rdp connection is the way to go.
The implementation overview:
* Ping the vm
* Enable remote access in vm
* Include vm users in remote access. Otherwise you won't be able to use the account to remote access the vm.
The implementation:
* Enable the Network Adapter for your Hyper-V vm properties. Network Adapter = Network card
* Ping the vm from the hosting machine (Not compulsory but it is good way to know if the network has been set up)
+ Allow ping request in the vm
- (In Windows 7) Control Panel --> System and security --> Windows Firewall --> Advanced settings --> Inbound rules --> New rule --> custom rule
- in Protocol and ports: Protocol: ICMPv4
on the same panel go to customize, choose "Specific ICMP types", check the box "echo request"
- The rest is trivial; go to next... next... and save it.
* Enable remote access in vm

2. Click the Select Users button in the Remote tab of the System Properties window.
3. Click Add in the Remote Desktop Users window.
