Map network drive results: the network folder is already mapped using.....


Windows 10, no domain controller, all machines in "WORKGROUP" I can see the share from other PCs but not the new Win10 pc.

Network Map not showing all network machines


I have just upgraded 4 W7 machines to W10 to add to our 8 pc LAN. On checking the network map only the same 3 of the 8 are showing. I have pinged with IP and name and obtained a result, also checked advanced sharing settings and all correct and same as existing machines. The network is set to private. Any suggestions how I can get these machines to show the full network map

 

How to map a network drive

Hi Reese,

For concerns such as mapping a network drive, we have an article that you can follow. Just refer to the steps from this thread:

Map a network drive.

The mapped name of a folder is stuck


I have never had to do anything else to remove an old network drive mapping. [The mapped drives I have are all listed even though they are not currently connected].

If I understand the situation correctly -

• You have mapped \\TOWER\0 SYNCHRONIZ and that is confirmed by HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Network
• But File explorer insists that you have mapped to a [removable?] drive you have called 0 SYN that is connected to the network computer called T instead

1 Does HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Network contain an entry for 0 SYN or \\T at all?
2 Does HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Portable Devices\Devices contain 0 SYN as a 'FriendlyName' entry?
3 Can 0 SYN be found in your Registry elsewhere [such as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares]?
