    Can't directly browse sub-folders below root drive on local network PC


    PC is on domain.
    When entering path to a folder of another PC on the local network through it's administrative share i.e. "\\remotepc\c$\users\username\desktop" I get the message in the attached screen-grab.
    When I enter the path to the root drive "\\remotepc\c$" I get prompted for credentials, enter the cred's and then can browse the entire drive and sub-directories.
    Does anyone know why you don't get prompted when entering the sub-directory directly?

    Welcome to Seven Forums,

    Please try it again, I've seen/experienced this behavior. I'd try to.... click on the Start button then type e.g \\dispatch2\c$\ press enter after...

    then navigate to the C$, and locate the Desktop folder or any folder that you wish to access.
    In my case..... \\dispatch2\c$\Users\Public\Desktop

    If that didn't work we'll try a different tactic.
