Open Computer Manager on Remote Machine in Workgroup

How can I open Computer Manager on a remote machine in a WORKGROUP environment? When I connect to another computer and try to open Shared Folders for example I get an authentication error.

The scenario you have encountered is the same default configuration that prevents us from remotely navigating to the admin shares (such as "c$") within a workgroup. However, there is a simple registry modification you can make to enable that capability. Here is a good article that explains the process:

that doesn't seem to work when opening Shared Folders in Computer Manager. Do I need to enter the Administrator account credentials somehow?
