Locked folders in disconnected drives unlocked and set to desktop
I've noticed that whenever Xplorer2 can't access a folder that a tab is set to, it defaults to the desktop folder. A well known issue in windows as far back as I can remember is that it doesn't always reconnect to network drives immediately at start up and often, network mapped drives will appear in windows explorer as disconnected, even though they will connect when you double-click them. It would seem this behavior wasn't accounted for in Xplorer2 and when I start xplorer2 after rebooting, any of my locked folders pointing to network drives are lost and shown as desktop folders. Is there a way to prevent xplorer2 from defaulting to the desktop folder in these cases and keep the locked folder pointing to the specified drive?

the best you can do is to save a folder group (aka tabs, Customize menu) with your connected folders, and if they are lost somehow you can quickly get them back

There's no feature similar to XYplorer that prevents browsing network folders on startup to avoid this very issue? Is there a feature request section since this would be a good feature to add. Thanks.

there's the /N command line switch that won't reload network drives on startup but that will also lose the network folders
