Assuming you have shared the folder in windows you can do this from terminal:

mkdir -pv ~/mnt/share
sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.188/media$ ~/mnt/share/ -o username=<username-you-have-on-windows-machine>

You will then be prompted for the username you have for your windows user. After that you can find the contents of your share in ~/mnt/share/.

Assuming you are sharing the Media folder on windows and that you have samba installed on your linux machine, you could, from nautilus do this.

Go to Connect to Server and then in the server address, type:

smb://192.168.1.188/Media

That should opened the shared 'Media folder. It might pop you for credentials.
