Access network drives

[jr@qsm.co.il]

When I connect via VPN to my office, total commander will not ley me access the office network drives until I open then in the Windows explorer.
Windows 10.
This is not a new situation, but I have decided it might be worth reporting.

Sorry, no idea. Maybe you need to call "net use" via command line?

What is the difference between the way Windows Explorer accesses a drive and the way Total Commander does it? Should there be a difference?

TC calls WNetAddConnection3 (with interactive option, so it will prompt for password if needed) if it cannot access a share. I don't know what the Explorer uses.

You can use other values than 0 for UseShellConnect in wincmd.ini, just add it under [Configuration], e.g.
UseShellConnect=1

1: use old method to connect to network shares (Workaround for VINES)
-1: show separate dialogs for user and password (for crash by NVIDIA driver)

Thanks.
