Unable to browse mapped drives when doing File > Open

If you are unable to browse to a mapped drive from within an application and the drive seems to be functional within Explorer then there are likely 2 causes

• Software vendor is using a custom "Browse" dialog box rather than the Microsoft API
• The executable is running in compatability mode or with admin rights.

Change the app properties or set the following reg key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
EnableLinkedConnections =(dword)1
