Default What is the Vista equivalent of XP's My Network Places?

I use My Network Places a lot in XP. I can't figure out how to get the same
functionality in Vista. I know how to map a network drive I'm asking a
different question. In XP, I use My Network Places when I have a place I
access often enough that I don't want to map a drive every time but not so
often that a mapped drive makes more sense. For instance, some network folder
that I access once a week. Is there similar functionality in Vista? The
help and support search is not getting me the answer I need.

Start Network.
Same as in XP but without the "My" and "Places".

Same as 'Network Neighborhood' without the neighborhood...

I use My Network Places in XP to access my groups ex.
http://groups.msn.com/computerhomework to post my homework for my class. How
do access groups on a Vista PC.
