Your quotes mention some text configuration. Where can we modify this configuration (if you advice me to do so or want me to do a specific test) ?
Well it was more a suggestion that if you were using MiniTree already then you might want to enable the
MiniTreeVerifyOnSelect tweak to get the login prompts. As you aren't using MiniTree that tweak doesn't matter.
Also, since you aren't yet familiar with INI tweaks, it is probably safe to assume you don't have
TreeSkipVerifyOnSelect enabled either - which would prevent the login prompts.
For more information about what INI tweaks are and how to set them read here:

Good idea but unfortunately not
[EDIT] : at least, there has been some progress as i were not able to browse my network drive at all with XY and now, by disconnecting and reconnecting them, i can

The thing i can't understand is while i'm asked for windows credentials, i check the option to memorize these credentials but as nothing is memorised because even the default windows explorer ask for credentials after reboot, what is the purpose of this option ?

An idea to resolve this problem finally, is, as windows is not able to remember passwords, then xy could do it for it.
I mean, when windows start, xy start too, disconnect all drives and reconnect them.

I don't know if it's important or not to mention but i have 3 network drives using the same credentials, once i connect another one to the same volume, the first 3 becomes availables (until i reboot).
Ignore this message if it does help in any way.

Good but I guess it will be harder to test netork drive with a seven context

or a more general solution can be find like "disconnect all drives and reconnect them"

Win 8 is crap. I gave up to return to Win 7.
Anyway, Don, do you intent to gear XY toward mobile devices (tablet/smart phones) that use Win 8?

It has been discussed, it does not work.
I have been invited to search google for windows priviledges, launch windows tasks or such things which are not the easy way and as it's just a basic feature, i feel it can be offered by XY

Are you talking about autostarting it with admin privileges?
Well than it doesn't work from the autostart folder.
Apart from that it's the easiest task on earth to create a task to do that...
Extract it to your XYplorer folder (it must be in a subfolder named
"@SendTo Tasks") and start the file "@SendTo Tasks [Install].bat"
from a CMD with admin privileges once.
Done...
