using SCP to access shared windows folders

can a shared directory on another machine be set-up as the local directory
in a session profile?

Only if it is mapped to drive letter. You cannot use UNC paths with WinSCP yet.

where/how do you map it?

thanks, for the response!!

In Windows Explorer in menu "Tools", there is function "Map network drive".
