Add one of the following bookmarks to XboxMediaCenter.xml in the sections you want to show the shares in (My Pictures, My Music and My Movies)

<bookmark>
<name>Network My PC</name>
<path>smb://ComputerName/MySharedDrives</path>
</bookmark>

You can also add the domain name into the path
<path>smb://domain;ComputerName/MySharedDrives</path>

<bookmark>
<name>Network My PC</name>
<path>smb://IP/MySharedDrives</path>
</bookmark>
