[Fixed] Some drives can't be accessed from TC

[arko]

Potentially related to #457602.

I am unable to access some drives which are bog-standard, local disks without Bitlocker.

For example, here is what I see in TC v11: Image: https://gcdnb.pbrd.co/images/FeyFrNx3Gpe2.png

And here is the Explorer view: Image: https://gcdnb.pbrd.co/images/rwVoWeYiKC68.png

I have tried setting EnableLinkedConnections to 1, but to no avail.

Please check whether drive F: is forbidden. This can be achieved in several ways:
1. Via file wincmd.ini, section [Configuration]:
Allowed=CDEG\
would disallow drive F ( \ allows the network neighborhood).

You can open the wincmd.ini via Configuration - Change settings files directly.

Or via Registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ghisler\Total Commander\Configuration
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Ghisler\Total Commander\Configuration
String value:
Allowed
content for example:
ACDEG\

Registry has no such record, same output for both HKCU and HKLM:

Code: Select all

$ Get-ChildItem -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Ghisler\" -Recurse


    Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ghisler


Name                           Property
----                           --------
Total Commander                IniFileName : %APPDATA%\GHISLER\wincmd.ini
                               FtpIniName  : %APPDATA%\GHISLER\wcx_ftp.ini
                               InstallDir  : C:\Program Files\totalcmd

...And, bingo! Indeed, wincmd.ini was missing "f" for some reason:

Code: Select all

Allowed=abcdeghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Any idea why was it not there? I haven't edited that property manually.

You must have, TC doesn't make that entry itself.

Anyway if you allow ALL drive letters from a to z you don't need the allowed= entry in your wincmd.ini - all drive letters are allowed by default. But if you want to not allow network shares you need the whole list.
