I can't access my WHS shared folders from my desktop

My WHS has been acting odd and shutting down at random times. I went and bought a new cmos battery and have it running right now, but when I click on my shared folders shortcut I get this...

From the same desktop I can log on to my WHS via remote desktop, and I can access my shared folders from my laptop wirelessly
 
Start -> Run, \\SERVER and hit enter. If it comes up, recreate the shortcut maybe? I'm not sure. It does have a credential error there, are you connecting using credentials that match an account on the server? if not, it may not be authenticating, and preventing you from seeing the share.
 
I think you may be right, I tried clciking the shortcut again and I entered an incorrect username and it seemed to have locked me out again. I will try again in a bit.
 
Usually this sort of problem is related to stored credentials on your desktop PC. Somehow the wrong username/password combination ends up being stored, or the password on the "server" is changed, and now the stored credentials no longer match the user/password on the server.
