netdrive not visible in Nethood

Post by CyGho »

When i use Go/Go to... and type a networkpath (e.g. in this case \\lappie\e$), the drive doesn't become visible in Nethood. The focus wil jump to the correct network computer but no drive.
When i do the same in Windows Explorer (type in the adresbar) the drive is visible and selected:

In XYplorer:

And in Windows Explorer:

Please continue with your work on the new site before answering this question, i know the site has prio now :)
Software: should we be aware because it's soft ? I like to think not !

I also described that here.

It only happens with hidden/administrative shares (those end with $ and are not included in the list windows gives out when another PC requests a list of it's shares, which is probably the reason it doesn't work yet). It's not necessarily a shared drive (though windows shares all drives as hidden administrative shares as default), you can create them yourself by just adding a $ at the end of the sharename.
