Authentication to an Admin share

When I initially try to connect to an admin share on a server (\\server\c$) in Windows Explorer it will prompt me for credentials to that server. I have not been able to find out how to do that in XYPlorer. Is it possible? What I have had to do is login to it with Explorer, and then it will work in XYPlorer. I think this information is stored in the Windows Vault (Control Panel > Credential Manager) in Windows 7. Is there a way for XYPlorer to recognize that it needs a login/password for access and then prompt for it? A screenshot of the login prompt to which I'm referring is shown here: http://screencast.com/t/NjNjYTNlZ

Do you have "Assume servers available" checked in Configuration/Advanced? If yes, uncheck it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did have it checked. I unchecked it and restarted the program just to be sure it would apply. It was still unchecked and I tried authenticating again to the admin share and I got an "Access is denied" error. http://screencast.com/t/N2I3NWIyZjA When I tried it in Windows Explorer it prompted me to login. So I changed the setting but it's still not working. Any other ideas?
