2.4.0 Windows version and using shared folders

[Iñaki Grao]

Russell,

I'm using GnuCash running on Windows 7. The problem is that the shared
folders maped to a network drive are not available to GnuCash's "open file"
window, as seen on following image:
http://img217.imageshack.us/i/gnucash242.png/   (F: is maped to "finanzas"
shared folder, and that drive is not available to GnuCash, while it is
available to other windows applications).

I've tried GnuCash 2.4.2 on a Windows XP machine, with no problem at all.

Any clue?


Thank you


                    Iñaki
