Drive Mapping

[ace-rimmer]

Hi

i have an odd issue, i have a network drive mapped and is seen no problem in my computer, but it doesn't show up in the browse window of device manager which is where the drivers are located, is there an option that stops you being able to navigate a mapped drive?

also if you choose "have disk" this doesn't show mapped drives either

Thanks

This was the fix i used, for sum reason its not there as default.


To work around this problem, configure the EnableLinkedConnections registry value. This value enables Windows Vista and Windows 7 to share network connections between the filtered access token and the full administrator access token for a member of the Administrators group. After you configure this registry value, LSA checks whether there is another access token that is associated with the current user session if a network resource is mapped to an access token. If LSA determines that there is a linked access token, it adds the network share to the linked location.
To configure the EnableLinkedConnections registry value

Click Start, type regedit in the Start programs and files box, and then press ENTER.

Locate and then right-click the registry subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.

Point to New, and then click DWORD Value.

Type EnableLinkedConnections, and then press ENTER.

Right-click EnableLinkedConnections, and then click Modify.

In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.

Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
