  1. "Insert link" causes auto-map a new network drive letter


    When I open a xls file > Insert > link > insert link > select a network drive letter, eg.: R drive \\192.168.1.51\hr2\ Or I open outlook 365 app > new email > insert link > select a network drive letter, eg.: R drive \\192.168.1.51\hr2\ :

    then it will auto-generate a new network drive in file explorer INSTANTLY. Each time if I re-do this action "select a existing network drive letter", then it will also auto-map one new more drive letter. That is why I got so many drive letters for same network folder path:

  2. Can Quick Access links to network folders use mapped drive letters instead of network paths?

    Is it possible to get Quick Access links to network folders to use mapped drive letters in their path instead of just the network path? We have a few users who are uploading documents to a service, and these uploads will fail if the path to the document
    doesn't begin with a drive letter. The easiest way for them to get to these documents is through the Quick Access links, however those seem to use the network path and not the mapped drive letter, so they are unable to upload documents from them.

  3. Cannot add/change drive letter in disk management or map network drive.

    I need to connect portable HDD to my PC but the drive is not showed up.(Another PC worked normally) When I try to assign drive letter in drive management.(Volume is appeared in Disk Management as NTFS but no drive assigned) Drive letter list is greyed out except
    "Mount in the following empty NTFS folder" and map network drive also, drive list is empty. So, i don't really know what to do at this
    problem.
