I connected skydrive to my Windows Explorer following this instructions How-to: Connect Your SkyDrive In Windows Explorer | mynetx And I did it,but it shows me wrong information. It says 136gb free of 277gb but it should be 24.99 gb free of 25 gb. Here is a Screenshot.
View 5 RepliesOn my Win 7 system, I have mapped 4 drives to a XP system using the "net use" command. They are mapped correctly as p,q,s,t on the Windows 7 system. They show up in the "Power Desk" app which is a file manager utility program. The mapped drives work correctly in that program.However, they don't show up in explorer on the windows 7 system. All other drives are shown, but not the mapped drives. Also, if I bring up the file open dialog box from an app like notepad, they don't show up either.On another Win 7 system, I can map the drives exactly the same way and they do show up in explorer. It must be a setting that is different on the Win 7 system that does not work.

Now, I understand that once you install the Skydrive PC program, you get a folder on the desktop. Whatever is in that desktop folder, however the contents are organized--that's what gets synched up to the SkyDrive Interwebs.which means that my entire photo collection, all 13GB of it, needs to be copied into the desktop SkyDrive folder.Now, I also have a Windows Live Photo Gallery on here- never used. But I see on there,that there is a thing that says 'publish to SkyDrive.' Does that mean if I hit the button, they are automatically copied there? So I don't have to dupe my collection? I pushed the 'Publish to SkyDrive' button, and it appears grayed out.

I am starting to try out using SkyDrive, but I�m not totally comfortable with putting sensitive documents online, also I often use my notebook without any internet access and I would like to be able to have a local copy available. Optimally I would like to be able to have a master drive that both desktop and notebook sync their local versions to.

Windows 7 Prof 32 bit, with Office 2003 SP3 on a Dell laptop. Everything works fine when on the network and connected. If the user takes the laptop offsite without shutting it down first and still has mapped drives when he tries to save a document the drop down menu will hang any Office app.To explain a bit more... in the Save As dialog box, the drop down menu to change locations it was freezes it up. After about 30 seconds or so the menu will finally appear and the application will be happy again. The user doesn't have that kind of patience though.This isn't a new issue, I've found its due to the mapped network drives being unreachable. I do not have this problem in XP, only Windows 7. This is very annoying to the user. Short of removing the mapped drives with a script that the users has to run when they leave the office what can I do? I've looked around the web a lot and can't find much more than "disconnect the mapped drives" and I dont think of that as a solution so much as a work around.
The user is the CEO of the company I work for and he often uses his laptop at home, then gets in the car and uses it on his way to the office (obviously he isn't driving himself) and then gets into the office and wants his drives to just magically workAlso, trying to change how he uses the laptop won't work either. This is not a tech savvy user. This user also resist change (obviously, still using Office 2003)
Windows 7 Home Premium - fully updated. I mapped a drive Z: and disconnected it but it still appears. Nothing I have tried works. I have tried net use many times (with everything else closed down) as follows:
net use z: /delete
net use \sharenameUsers
net use z: \sharenameUsers /delete
net use z: \sharenameUsers * /delete ( ie.I passworded the map)
net use z: \sharenameUsers myactualpassword /delete
Yes I rebooted after net use. Yes I used the actual sharename not \sharenameUsers. Is my net use syntax correct for a passworded map?

Our domain controller is a Win Server 2003 R3, and we recently replaced several workstations with newer hardware running Win 7 Pro x64. For the most part, every thing runs smoothly. We have a shared folder on the 2003 machine that everyone uses to store their data. Everyone logs on to the domain, not the local machine. The problem happens when a machine is left on for more than one day. I don't know if it is on a regular interval, but I haven't noticed it as such. Eventually there is an error when trying to connect to the mapped drive: "U:\ is not accessible. An unexpected network error occurred."
When trying to browse the server from the Network in the Start Menu I get this: "Windows cannot access \\servername Check the spelling of the name... Error code 0x80070035 the network path was not found." I get a positive response when I ping the server's name and IP address from the client computer, and vice versa. I checked that the following services were running on both machines: workstation, server, tcp/ip netbios helper, DHCP client, DNS Client. The client computer's Ethernet adapter settings uses the server as the Preferred DNS Server in the IPv4 properties [it is set manually].
I tried ipconfig /flushdns on the client, then ran gpupdate in an administrator cmd window, still got an error. I ran gpresult /h gpreport.html and will attach that file for inspection. There are some errors in the system event log with GroupPolicy as the source and 1030 as the Event ID. Sometimes there is an error in the log with NETLOGON as the source and 5719 as the Event ID. What really makes it aggravating is that it only happens when the client computers are left on for more than a work day. If they are rebooted, it works fine.
We are having ongoing problems with Windows 7 and mapped drive latency on our network. Our environment is as follows:Multiple servers running Windows 2008 & 2008 R2, some VMware servers (including our file server). Windows 7 x64 came preloaded on a brand new Lenovo think-pad, 4gb memory. This occurs on 4 different laptops. This problem ALSO occurs in exactly the same way on an HP Compaq x64 desktop running Windows 7 32. All systems are fully patched & up to date on SP's. Running IP 4 & 6 on all servers & Windows 7 machines Connected to GB Cisco switch.We run login scripts via GPOs that map drives (with net use commands) to 3 shares on our file-server, drives G, H and S.A fourth mapped drive to an IBM I-series does NOT experience these issues.
In Windows Explorer, mapped drives may or may not appear with red X's, but when clicked on they hang with a spinner and the green bar at the top of Explorer begins to run. This occurs randomly, but usually not right after boot up. It can take over a minute to complete. Also, in Word, which has references to these drives in file locations, file opening and saves can be very slow as it attempts to access these shares.This issue has delayed our roll out of Windows 7.Its unacceptably slow and cannot be used in a production environment.We have tried every suggestion we can find on the Internet:Turned off auto-tuning, indexing, thumbnails, set auto-disconnect to the max (both 99999 and ffffffff). Server & clients. No luck. Changed properties on the mapped drives to optimize for documents...no change.Changes setting on the network cards to disable flow control, set static link speed & duplex. Network drivers have been updated. Even tried using our wireless network and disabling wired connection...no change.All bios and hardware updates are completed...no change.Turned on and off network discovery..no change.
Disabled SMB2 on servers & clients...no change.Disabled firewalls, and unloaded antivirus (Trend)...no change.Safe boot with networking & clean boot with no services other than Microsoft...no change.
The beauty of Live Mesh, though, is that you can sync any folder anywhere on your hard drive without having to move or copy it to a specific location. You simply tell Live Mesh which folders to keep in sync on each PC, and it does the rest.The new SkyDrive will sync your files. But unlike Live Mesh, it won't sync specific folders from anywhere on your PC.Instead, it creates a folder on your PC called SkyDrive. Any subfolder or file you wish to sync has to be moved to that specific location. So what was once an automated process now becomes a manual and laborious task. It also can easily create problems for applications that want to store content in your Documents folder, for example.I just switched to Skydrive for this! It was a royal pain figuring out how to junction my documents folder on my second drive into my Dropbox folder. Is there any way to avoid upgrading?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I upgraded from XP (a long time ago) I deleted all the thumbs.db files. I can see thumbnails on my local C: drive. If I browse my network drive I can see thumbnails.
But I have also mapped my network drive as Z:. If I browse the mapped drive I can't see thumbnails.
Can anybody confirm that they can/cannot see thumbnails on mapped drives that don't contain thumbs.db.
Folders don't initially incorporate Folder.jpg into their thumbnail. If I browse into the folder I can see the thumbnail for Folder.jpg only. If I then return to the parent folder the folder now incorporates Folder.jpg into it's thumbnail.
I found many tutorials explaining how to pin custom things to the Windows 7 "super-bar"
maybe i read wrong but i didn't found anything about pinning a shortcut from a virtual mapped drive..
so, saying my virtual drive (mapped using net use ..) is R:,
what i want, is to have in my super-bar a shortcut to R:fooar.exe
is this possible ?
I've set up a dual boot with XP and 7. My mapped drives work fine under XP but on 7 they fail to reconnect at startup.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI run a small network in my business. The software I use is perfectly adapted to my use, but it is written in DOS Basic. This limits my access to network devices.
Until now using windows XP, I solved this problem by choosing one hard drive (C) as my server drive and mapping a (Z) virtual drive in every computer to that (C) drive.
I can access and update info in the server (C) drive from any computer, once I have shared and established permission levels. I share the root of the (C) drive, so everything is accessible.
Now I try this with Windows 7 and I cannot access the server (C) drive from the virtual (Z) drive from my programs, although I can see the (C) drive when I open the (Z) drive.
I have tried every possible level of permission settings, and still no luck. My question is this ...am I missing something here, or is it just impossible to do this in Windows 7?
I run some CAD and compiler software that (unfortunately!) uses absolute path names in project files, so I need to access all my files with exactly the same path for my PC and my laptop. Enventually I want to put all files on an external NAS drive, but only have the PC at the moment.So my first thought was create a folder on my PC, say C:X_Drive, map it as a network drive, say X:, and share the folder as X: on the laptop. Then I'd always access files through the mapped drive, and all paths would be consistent, and moving to an external drive should be trivial.
This sort of works. I've set up the Security tab to give everyone full access. I can read and write the folder itself, but cannot write to the mapped drive version on the same PC, I'm warned I don't have permission. I'm an administrator and the only user on the system. I've tried UNC addressing and direct fixed IP addressing when mapping, no joy. Subst doesn't work properly either (drive comes up as disconnected in explorer, but I believe that's a known Windows bug).
We have this recurring issue where some mapped network drives disappear from 'my computer'. They usually appear after 1 or 2 reboots, but having to go through this each time is a bit annoying.Right now all our client computers are running windows 7 pro on a 2008 domain server. We've been having this issue from when we had the 2003 server and its still happening every now and then
