    How to show the full path of the shared folders?


    How to show the full path of the shared folders?

    For example, I have shared the h folder which is stored on the D drive of the P1 Computer. What I wanted is to show the full path of the shared folder such that it (shared folder) appears as (screenshot is attached):

    \\P1\Local Disk (D:)\h

    How might this be accomplished?


    Thank you

    Best

    Hi Jamal,

    You have created a few Threads, are these all work-related questions or for personal use?

    To answer your question, you may create a Mapped Network Drive and create a shortcut on your desktop, this way you'll be able to see the path of your shared resource.

    Thank you 2xg for the help,

    Sorry to post a few threads. They are quite related but with different core issue in each

    What I wanted here is to have the path without the need to do the mapping

    Is that still possible?

    The first image you attached... See that square you made around Network > P1 > h ?
    Click next to it, like this:



    Is that what you wanted?

    Not sure if this is what you wanted but you can type "net share" into a command prompt and that will list the shared folders and paths.

    Thank you texhnologic and Danny for the answer,

    I got a help from the forum and sounds that the only way to see the FULL path of the shared folder is from the management (attached)
