drive letter (device name) versus \\ComputerName\ShareName

Post by JanVP »

Hi,
Recently rolled out Everything (125 installs as of now).
A user noticed that "right click - Everything context menu" on his pinned folders (windows explorer, top left panel, quick access) does not yield results.

My guess: said folders were added to the index using the drive letter (I documented this one-time procedure in an internal manual), while some of his pinned folders use the other notation and thus the (first part of the) paths do not match.

Is there a workaround or does he need to change his pinned folders?

They will need to change their pinned folder.

I will look into converting between drive letter and \\server\share when one is not indexed.
