My Windows 11 account uses my email address as my user name and for whatever reason when I try to change it, windows says it is changed but it does not. So, with that being said, smbclient -U works and shows my windows shares, but smb4k, Dolphin, Thunar, Nemo… all do not allow using ’ tick marks in the connect line. How do I fix this?
Also, why is there no networking sub-forum?
It’s in the category of Discovery.
This may be this will help Samba Sharing. 
Or why not use what’s already there? NTFS is already integrated with Linux 
Here is a link to the Arch Wiki on NTFS
I meant in the forums not the WIKI.
I does not talk about having special characters in your password and using a credentials file for whatever reason is not working with mount -t cifs.
I do not dual boot, as I am on a Raspberry Pi 4 and 400. I just want to be able to connect to my Music folder on my Windows machine. I can view the folder via smbclient, but mount -t cifs gices a bad usage error which is unhelpful at best and frustrating at worse as it tells me nothing as to where the problem lies. Thank you though for responding.
That was your first mention of Pi. Try and give more info so we can help you.
