HiFile doesn't recognise network drive unless connected within HiFile (Win11)
Issue #30
new
When connecting a network drive in HiFile, all works ok. Drive letter appears in the bookmark bar and bookmarks on that drive can be resolved.
When mapping outside of HiFile (using 'net use' command), HiFile does not see the mapped drive, and bookmarks error with 'The bookmark target path does not exist'.
It does seem to know the drive is mapped, as the drive letter is unavailable within "Connect..", but it is not showing in "Disconnect.." (not sure if these menu options are internal HiFile or point to Windows network mapping)
Workaround/solution:
Taken from - https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/306159-mapped-network-drives-not-showing-in-application
To configure the EnableLinkedConnections registry value, follow these steps:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Tested and works, then changed the value to 0 and it didn’t work, then back to 1 and it works.
