    Can't see mapped drive on Windows Explorer

     
    I've mapped network drive connections to two folders on my server (Windows peer-to-peer network - 4 computers). When I check the mapping it shows the folders are mapped correctly, e.g. \\server\c. But they don't show up on the list of "network connections", nor can they be seen by various software apps. We can get to the network connects by clicking "Microsoft Network ? ", etc., but it's cumbersome. How did I get the mapped drives to show up?

    You have to assign a drive letter to each if you want them in My Computer.

    Right-click My Computer and select "Map Network Drive". Locate your share and assign a letter to each. I would start at Z and work backwards.
