  1. Mapped network drive: how to get rid of the "enable editing" message?


    Hi,I've just re-installed Windows 10. After the re-install, I mapped some network drives. Whenever I open a Microsoft Office document stored on these drives, which are hosted on a machine on the local network, I get the message:"PROTECTED VIEW: Be careful—files from the Internet can contain viruses. Unless you need to edit, it's safer to stay in Protected View."These files are not "from the Internet". they were created on one of three network drives, hosted on the local network, using Microsoft Office 365 on my local machine or occasionally on someone else's machine, also on the local network

    :)

    Trouble Mapping Network Drive

    I have a WD NAS drive connected to my router and have mapped it on three of my computers. I just setup another laptop with Windows 10 and have updated it to 1809 and when I tired Mapping a network drive nothing is displayed in the browse window except the
    computer I am currently using. The drive is shown under network locations in File Explorer but not when you select map network drive and browse. I right clicked on the drive and selected properties and noted the IP address and went back into Map network drive
    but instead of selecting browse I entered the IP address but it still does not map the drive. The strange part is if I go to any of the computers that already has the network drive mapped and select Map network drive and select browse none of those computers
    show the drive either but you can select the mapped drive in the drive list in file explorer and it works just fine.

    I have read several articles both here and elsewhere and tried the suggestions but nothing works. Network discovery is turned on as is file sharing and also checked if all three boxes under SMB file sharing support in Windows features were also checked and
    they are. I have mapped several computers to several different drives over the years and anytime the drive was not listed it was always easy to go into Network Sharing Centre and find the problem but everything seems to be as it should so would appreciate
    if someone can suggest something I may have overlooked.

    Thank you

    Mapped network drives do not connect at logon in vista with automatic logon enabled

    I have vista x64 . I have some mapped network drives . They get connected when i enter the password at logon screen. Now i enabled automatic logon in vista and they do not connect anymore . I have to double click on them and enter the password manually .

    Windows displays the message "Could not connect to all drives" at logon .

    They used to connect automatically in xo with automatic logon enabled.

    My logon password is the same as the administrator password with which i can connect to these drives .

    Able to ping network path but not able to map network drive on Windows 10

    Pinging a network drive is one thing and mapping it is another. Pinging uses TCP/IP protocol, while Mapping requires TCP protocol and NFS Protocols.

    • Verify if NFS protocols are enabled on your network drive (by default it is already enabled in Windows 10).
    • What network drive are you using (NAS, external hard drive, etc)
