I use this with Windows NT Server SFM shares all the time. AppleTalk only.

Yes, this is also how I do it at work. We have a Win 2000 file server which has three AppleShare volumes.

Originally I used the Recent Servers aliases from the OS 9 system folder (from when this G4 was running OS9 only) and mounted the three volumes this way. They show up on the desktop. This was not using the Chooser. Then I added the mounted volumes to my startup items. The usual window pops up, which I just have to hit OK.

The one thing I wouldn't do is use SMB to browse or mount Apple Shares that are on a W2K server. It messes with the file names, and you see all your invisible files. Also OS X doesn't seem to know what to do with some files, such as thinking Quark files are UNIX executables!
