Show tsclient drive letters
When I access another PC using remote desktop connection, I can decide to have my host PC's drives shared for the current session (see screenshot). In this case a temporary network called tsclient is created in the remote PC and my drive letters are shown as \\tsclient\C , \\tsclient\D , \\tsclient\E and so forth.
XY does navigate to all these folders, but the parent folder \\tsclient is not visible where I would normally see all drives listed as C, D, E etc.
Any chance to get this listed?

Re: Show tsclient drive letters
Please run this through the address bar:
A list should appear. Does it show any of the missing items?
Code: Select all
::enumshellfolderitems 61;

Yes, I do see it. Exact same ones as in network. Thanks! I guess the answer for my next question is here:admin wrote:Please run this through the address bar:A list should appear. Does it show any of the missing items?Code: Select all

I have the dark feeling that this might solve your issue...

Re: Show tsclient drive letters
I have to check the tsclient thing back from home tonight, but quickly: maybe network can be switched off at startup. Because with more than 10 network places sometimes at work the startup time is looong. It took 20 seconds for XY to start with focus on network. Without the focus startup is instant. The status message "enumerating servers in network" helps to understand why network is slow when one is already inside XY but before startup I was wondering whats going on.admin wrote:Uhm, please read point 1) here: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 720#p67720

Re: Show tsclient drive letters
This is a bug. There is a setting "No network browsing on startup" but it is not totally obeyed obviously. Fix will come.serendipity wrote:I have to check the tsclient thing back from home tonight, but quickly: maybe network can be switched off at startup.

Apart from that: ticking cache network servers will remove any startup delays as well.

Wow, surprising. Thanks for testing.serendipity wrote:Just tried, no change. tsclient still shows nothing.admin wrote:Uhm, please read point 1) here: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 720#p67720

OK, now I am testing at work so its faster to report.admin wrote:Wow, surprising. Thanks for testing.serendipity wrote:Just tried, no change. tsclient still shows nothing.admin wrote:Uhm, please read point 1) here: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 720#p67720

Host PC: Win7 32-bit
Remote PC: XP sp3
(My previous report was from Win7 to Win7 both 32-bit)
On my remote PC WE maps shared drives as "C on Host PC", "D on Host PC" and so on (screenshot).
At this point XY doesn't see the mapped drives.
I go looking for tsclient but even WE doesn't see it, however if I browse into one of the mapped drives, the path looks like eg: "\\tsclient\C\Program file". tsclient doesnt show up in Network until I reduce the path to \\tsclient in WE addressbar.
Note: tsclient shows up directly under Entire network in WE (not under Entire network\Microsoft Windows Network\)
At this point in XY: typing \\Tsclient yields nothing. While \\Tsclient\C or any other drive name shows up.
Also running ::enumshellfolderitems 61; tsclient is NOT listed. But in my screenshot before (W7 to W7) tsclient did show up. Maybe, something to do with W7 to XP remote connection?
Tested on 10.70.0208.

Re: Show tsclient drive letters
Hm. So is the new way better, same, or worse than the old way?

Re: Show tsclient drive letters
It's not my goal to replicate what WE shows under Nethood. All I want to show there is all computers that are currently connected. If the new way is better at that than the old way it is a success.serendipity wrote:Slightly better I guess.admin wrote:Hm. So is the new way better, same, or worse than the old way?
BTW, this looks like the list that WE is showing:
Code: Select all
::enumshellfolderitems 18

From my testing so far, from Win7 to XP its the same, from Win7 to Win7 atleast it enumerated tsclient which it did not before. Although I will do another test this evening from Win7 to Win7 and let you know.
