2.4.11 Windows version and using shared folders

[Joseph Campisi III]

Sure I would be happy to and apologize for any confusion I might have 
caused.

To replicate the problem you need to create a network location by doing 
the following -

1.  Within the My Computer windows right-click and select "add a network 
location".

2.  Follow through the wizard and create a network location.  In our 
example we will create \\storage\GnuCash

3.  This will create a network location named - GnuCash (storage(storage 
server))

This location does appear in most Windows program like any other folder 
would.

This however does not show up within GnuCash.

The answer it seems is to simply not use network locations and instead map 
proper network drives.

I hope this helps to clarify things.

- Joe
