Xplorer2 lite cannot see my network drives

Post by mrjayviper »

Please see screenshot at the bottom of the page.

It's a screenshot of xplorer2 lite and windows explorer side-by-side. As you can see, the mapped network drives are visible in Windows Explorer (shows up as smb-storage in the screenshot) but not in xplorer2. Is this a limitation of the lite version? perhaps a bug?

I've looked at settings and the only thing I can see which may be related is "Show administrative shares for network drives". Though enabling it has no effect.

I'm using Windows 8.1 if it matters.

Thanks for the help

missing mapped network drives usually means you are running xplorer2 elevated (full administrator). If you run it normally, it will show your drives

Thanks for the reply. I'll try your suggestion. though I do not think I ran xplorer2 as admin.
