Cannot find network drives in the program

Post by nocones »

Hello,
My prior pc showed the network drives (mapped) and I could add folders from them to options. New pc is windows 11 pro and I cannot get the network drives to show in this program. They show fine in File Explorer. Tried running as administrator and standard but no difference.

Network does not show in the list either. Any help much appreciated! This is an amazing tool.

Are you running Everything "as Administrator"?

Shares created by a user, nocones, are not automatically seen by any other user, or by Admin.
If your mapped drive is M:, you can drop to a C:\> prompt & do a, DIR M:, & that will work.
But if you open an Admin level C:\> prompt, the same will fail.

(Now you can, while as Admin, also create the same mapped share to M: & then it would work.
And there are other ways to accomplish similar, if that is your issue.)


Or if you are running Everything, as Admin - don't.
(Unless you have some specific reason to do so.)
