mapped drives with openFileRequester

Post by Poltergeist »

When using OpenFileRequester, the mapped drives (on Windows 8, at least) are not shown. Is it possible to do so?

They show for me on Win7-64.

Can you post the smallest version of the code that is giving you troubles?

It works on PureBasic v5.31 (x64) running on Windows 8.1; all mapped drives are displayed, including LAN and FTP drives.

Already know what's happening: I run the program in Administrative Mode (Elevated). Then the mapped drives are not available. When not running elevated, it's working as expected...
