When I connect to a remote computer using Windows Remote Desktop Connection, how can I access files on that remote desktop from my local Windows Explorer? I'm looking for the opposite of what you can configure in Remote Desktop Connection > Options > Local Resources > More.

I don't think RDP supports such a feature. What would I do?
I would set up an FTP server and connect to it, then you wouldn't need to even RDP.
Better yet, I'd set up an SSH server: http://lifehacker.com/#!205090/geek-to-live--set-up-a-personal-home-ssh-server
Then, I'd get dokan sshfs http://dokan-dev.net/en/download/
This way, the remote computer's drive would be mapped and ready to work with on my local computer.

Yes you can. Communication can be two way:

Use the option you mentioned and, in the remote desktop, copy the files to your local drive. – William Jackson – 2011-04-25T21:21:20.507
I need to work with that remote file in a local application so I need that remote file visible locally in some kind of "shared folder". – Borek Bernard – 2011-04-25T21:30:05.720
