Windows 10: Mapping and saving a path to network drives

Windows ver. 1909

I use a program called MyFolders. It creates a Right click menu option in File Explorer that then allows you to map a path to and save that mapped path to any external drive or other computer on your network. It appears this program has some fatal flaws that I have come across. I am wondering if there are any other programs that will allow you to map and save a path like MyFolders does and if you would recommend it?

Thanks

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

So i ran into this situation today. Computer A (Windows 7 professional) and Computer B (Windows 10) both connected to same domain.

Computer A can access network drive, but computer B cannot

This is what i tried on computer B, which has Windows 10

Verified advanced network sharing settings are enabled

Verified computer B can ping network path, but unable to map network drive

flushed DNS. Tried browsing to network drive, no good

Tried accessing network path with IPv4 address, network path, but no success

Not sure why computer B can ping the network drive but cannot map to network drive

Also verified NetBIOS is enabled.

Are there any other troubleshooting steps that i missed or what else should i check on Windows 10 about mapping network drive?

 

File Explorer - Path for a mapped drive

Sometimes I want to get the full path that i have mapped and copy and paste to send to someone.

I can usually just do a rt click and rename and copy it from there. BUT, if i had edited the path to make it just a one word name or something in the past, i cant get that path, unless i go to Map Network drive and find it in the list of drives i have mapped.

Now when i do that, you guys have made the box very narrow so i cant see the full path so it makes it really difficult to find it. Please widen that path in the drop down folder for the Mapped drive in File Explorer. Why so narrow???? Needs to be changed
so i can find longer paths in a list of similar paths, but slightly different. It creates frustration. i guess no one there has a bunch of long paths mapped and then edited as a shorter name and doesnt need to copy and paste the path to anyone else. i have
run into this issue several times. Widen that box there. thanks.

 

Can we no longer map a PATH (not just a drive)?

Hi,

Inability to map a path may occur due to configuration settings on your mapped drive. For us to properly isolate the case, supply more information by answering these questions:

• Which version and build of Windows 10 are you using?
• Are you using a group policy to specify a path?
• Can you send us a screenshot of the part or option that is grayed out?
• Have you tried any troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue?

Your response is greatly appreciated.
