W7 "Browse for Folder" does not see all network drives?
LockedBear with me; I have to recreate my original question post and I don’t recall all the details.
I’m trying to update a driver on a W7 SP1 system. I have the driver on a shared network drive. I start the Driver Upgrade wizard and tell it to let me pick the driver. When the ‘Browse for Folder’ dialog box appears, I try to navigate to the desired network drive but it isn’t listed. Other network drives are accessible in the dialog box. The desired drive shows up in Windows Explorer and other dialog boxes.
I found some references to this being a quirk of dialog boxes for MMC snap-ins, along with an MS KB article. (Sorry, I lost the article number with my original post.) Unfortunately, the referenced hotfix would not install on my system, claiming it didn’t apply.
The drive in question is assigned in my AD profile as my home directory and assigned the letter ‘I’. The other network drives are assigned by batch file at logon. I can successfully browse to the desired folder if I wade through ‘My Network’ or ‘Network Places’, or whatever W7 calls it. I can’t get to the drive by letter, even if I disconnect it and then perform a ‘Connect Network Drive’; it doesn’t appear under ‘My Computer’ in this dialog box.
Any s-u-g-g-e-s-t-i-o-n-s?
