Network drives inaccessible

[jcmn]

Hello

Since some previous versions XYPlorer is unable to see the network drives. Don't know why. Didn't change configuration since then.

Any explanation for this?

    * Network: I overreacted a bit in v16.00.0003. After all, the "new way" 
      worked for thousands of users for 3 years without any complaints until 
      recently. So here is a better solution:
      - XY now acts like this: First try the "new way", but if it fails then 
        fall back to the "old way". That way you get both worlds, one after the 
        other.
      - If you don't even want to try the "new way" use this tweak:
        NetworkNetServerEnum=1

Might be related to the above. So please try this tweak (http://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=tweak):

Code: Select all

NetworkNetServerEnum=1

Tried what you suggest but network drives continue invisible.

You can try an older version from the freezer to test your theory:

Well I tried several previous versions back in time but no one shows the network drives.

Instead trying versions messed with my configuration file.

After giving up with this problem I discovered, by chance, what was preventing the access to the network drives.

I had XYPLORER defined to run as administrator.

When I disable this the network drives were available again. Don't see the relation with running as administrator.

That's normal (when the drives were connected without admin rights) and has nothing to do with XY.

Well, I did not know that (and I find it strange that running as admin leads to less access), so thanks for the info, jcmn!
