With Windows 8, I fail to see network drive mappings in both the tree, as well as My Computer. I tried reinstalling 1.8, and I can see all mapped network drives.
The file shares are supplied through my linux server.
Xplorer2 2.2 fails to detect network drive mappings

I don't know what to say, probably if you try to run windows explorer as admin you would have the same problem. See here for UAC survival tips

I have tried looking at xplorer2 recently and the lag I get in certain folders on Windows 8 with 2.2.0.2. Even running under UAC and not as admin, the first time I open xplorer2, the first time I browse to my desktop, I get a ~45 second freeze in xplorer2 where the entire UI is unresponsive and goes grey. Once the desktop folder is loaded, I can browse to any other location and back and don't have an issue. I get this issue also if I have a network location mapped in "My Computer" which currently isn't accessible.
Windows explorer does not show this issue at all, so typically while I am waiting for xplorer2 to respond, I end up doing the action in explorer. Have I set up something incorrectly?

I want to apologize for the comparison, obviously I appreciate the benefits of xplorer2 and was just getting frustrated because I know this is not the typical experience of users with xplorer2.
I looked further with my configs and found that the root cause is tied to two color codings that check for directory size (one checks for directories with "contents value from 0 to 0", and the other checks for folders "size value larger than 500mb"). I think the problem is the check for contents, when I disable it, I do not get an issue when swapping directories. Is there a way to get color coding for empty directories without getting this performance hit?
Thanks
