I knew it had to be something simple I was overlooking lol. I didn't set it up to mount windows network shares like, that, it's done automatically. I'm running Linux Mint so it must be something configured in this distro that is set up like that. I'm relatively new to Linux so I'm not sure what is using that configuration or how to change it. I had found a temporary workaround by making a link to the .gvfs folder called temp.gvfs and that worked until I saw your reply. I can't believe I didn't see that option, although it is tucked away in the bottom corner like you said lol. Tyvm.
