Windows 10 / Mapped Network Drive / No Thumbnails

[m48tx]

I'm sure I am doing something wrong, but on my Windows 10 (64-bit Pro) system, XYP (16.30.0008) will not create thumbnails for files on a mapped network drive. DirectoryOpus and Windows file manager will create thumbnails.

Help? Thanks.

Can't confirm...

Ugh. I left out some information. I have a folder on the local drive that contains symbolic links to the video folders on a mapped network drive. XYP will not create the thumbnails when the symbolic links are accessed.

If the mapped folder is directly accessed, XYP will create the thumbnails after I clicked "Include Removable Media".

My apology.

Even with a local folder that contains symbolic links to folders on a mapped network drive... Can't confirm.

Remove your license information from your XYplorer.ini file, zip it and attach it to your next posting.

FYI, this ini file was copied from my Win7 system - it was not created new when I installed XYP on Win10.

Even with your .ini file it works flawlessly here...

Could this have anything to do with administrator privileges? My user is the administrator. When I run XYP, I am unable to create symbolic links so I create them with elevated command prompt window using mklink command. XYP will follow the created links, list the files, play the files, etc just not create thumbnails. If I run XYP as administrator, the mapped network drives do not show up.

If I run XYP as administrator, the mapped network drives do not show up.

-> You created the mappings with user privileges

Run this from a DOS prompt (with admin permissions!):

Code: Select all

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v "EnableLinkedConnections" /t REG_DWORD /d "0x00000001" /f

Restart

Test if it works now (xy started with admin permissions)...

Thank you. But no matter what I do, I cannot get this to work. The mapped drive accessed via symbolic links will not create thumbnails.
