**Bug Report: Auto-refresh tags fails on mapped network drive (64-bit version)**

**XYplorer version:** 28.20.0200 (64-bit)
**OS:** Windows 10 / Windows 11 (64-bit)

**Description:**
The "Auto-refresh tags" feature (Configuration | Information | Tags | Auto-refresh tags) does not work correctly when the tags database (tag.dat) is stored on a mapped network drive and shared between multiple computers (Multi-User Tagging setup).

**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Set up a shared tag.dat database on a mapped network drive (e.g. R:\SharedFolder\tag.dat)
2. Connect two or more computers to the same tag.dat using Tags | Load Tags Database...
3. Enable "Auto-refresh tags" on all computers
4. On Computer A, assign a label/tag to a file and save
5. Observe Computer B

**Expected behavior:**
Computer B should automatically reload the tag database and display the updated label/tag in real

Both use the same drive letter for the mapping and the tagged file exists on both computers in the exact same location?
