Best way to access Network shares

Post by *sekular »

I want to access a e$ share of a remote pc over the network. When i browse to the pc in total commander via network places it does not show the network share. IF i use the command line it opens in explorer.

Why does the command line open explorer and not the location in the total commander?

Anyway to access network share without using directory menu saves or other saved location type methods?

Why is it that sometimes i can edit the "show current directory" line but other times i can click it 50 times and it won't allow me to edit the path, is there a trick to it?

If you want to use the command line for directory changes it will work with the CD command like the command prompt.

So browsing to \\DESKTOP1\e$\ should be typed in the TC command line as "cd \\DESKTOP1\e$\" or if you are already on \\DESKTOP1\ you can type "cd e$" in the TC command line.

Shares with a $ sign are hidden/administrative.
Edit your wincmd.ini:

Code: Select all

[Configuration]
AdminShares=1
No idea if there's an entry in the config menu.
