This is very hard to investigate. I'm currently into totally different things. So this will have to wait, sorry.
Np. I hope your into breadcrumbs
I suspect as they are on the same domain that is why you are not prompted because your credentials are passed across to the VM.

Hi,
I use no VM but a physical computer, no vpn either as i'm in front of the computer

and have the same problem on every computer installed with seven 64bits so i guess we are able to reproduce easily as it seems the problems appears systematically. Problems being :
* windows does not mount automatically the drives, i have to ask for accessing them and fullfill credentials
* xyplorer does not try to mount the drive so i have to go through the explorer first and then go back to xyplorer

@Feelgood: To make windows auto map network drives every start-up, you can either:
- Run windows' cmd command:
net use G: ""C:\some\folder"" /P:Yes"
- Run XY script:
Run "cmd /c net use G: ""\\VNHANFSR01\KPMG-CD1"" /P:Yes";
XY neither remember nor promt for credential on Win7.
@Don: You can repo by:
Connect 2 computers over a LAN
Setup an user account with password on Computer1
Share a folder on Computer1
From Computer2: goto \\Computer1\sharedfolder

Yep, i tried with cmd : net use x:""\\192.168.2.20\Assets"" /P/Yes" and net use x:"\\192.168.2.20\Assets" /P/Yes". Apparently syntax is not recognized.
About XY script, how do i fullfill this rule please ?
I tried Menu scripting\Try script..., fullfilled with "cmd /c net use x:""\\192.168.2.20\Assets"" /P/Ye" andi got "Overflow 0 \ 0"

Because it's not a valid script command...

Seems you missed the script command
run
Everything else are just operands for this command...

- Run windows' cmd command:
net use G: "C:\some\folder" "/P:Yes"
- Paste this in addressbar and press enter:
::Run "cmd /c net use G: ""\\VNHANFSR01\KPMG-CD1"" /P:Yes";

I tried with success : net use z: "\\192.168.2.20\News" "/P:Yes".
Success because the windows explorer does not ask for credentials anymore.
But still problems with xyplorer and for a reason, even more than before and whatever i enter credentials or type the net use command : xyplorer does not access network drives, result being always "Location currently not available".
So windows explorer access volumes without problems but xyplorer never can access them

Yep, just tested the new 13.60 release, the occasion to wish an happy new year !
I clicked on a network drive not yet mounted with the default windows explorer and xy display "Location currently not available".
Then i mounted it with the default windows explorer and tried again with xy but it still display "Location currently not available".
I suggest to make available an xy debug release for beta testers like us so that we could upload here useful reports to help identify the different problems to be resolved

Really, it would be just fine if xy could just remap the drive at each startup by giving the credentials.
It works manually with tools\tools special\map network drive, so by doing it automatically, it should works whatever the windows release
