I'm trying to access network shares from applications run as administrator, but the application can never find the network path, even if I use UNC format. For example, I run notepad, hit Open, and type in \\myserver\C$
. It works. I run notepad as an administrator and try the same, but I get Windows cannot access \\myserver\C$
. (I'm copying and pasting the path in case I made a typo, but my server isn't called myserver anyway.)
I can do this in Windows 7 without a problem. How can I do this in Windows 8?
1Does the error message only say that it cannot access the specified path or does it say anything else? – Darius – 2012-09-19T19:37:14.323
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm getting:
Are your devices/PCs on DHCCP or have you assigned IP manually? – Darius – 2012-09-19T19:51:29.010
I have two computers, one with Windows 7 and one with Windows 8, both DHCP. The server I don't know about. However, I can repeat the test on Windows 7 without a problem. Thanks! – Don 01001100 – 2012-09-19T21:06:15.610
