Applications Not Able To See Mapped Drives In Windows 8

Applications having trouble seeing mapped drives in Windows 8 when running them As Administrator?

Here's a work around.

Create the following as a text file (Use Notepad)
(Do not include the cut lines)


-----------8<-----------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"EnableLinkedConnections"=dword:00000001

-----------8<-----------

I saved mine as EnableLinkedConnections.reg

Then just double click it and click OK through a couple of prompts.  You will need to reboot.
