Add 'Map network drive' to Explorer right-click for all folders
asked on
Greetings experts! I'm wondering if there's a way to add the right-click context menu option "Map network drive" to any folder in Explorer. By default it only appears if you right-click the share itself. This is for XP, 7, and 2008R2.
I'm asking because we often find ourselves very deep into a UNC path and it would be super convenient to just right-click on the folder we're in at that moment and map a network drive to it (and have the path pre-populated).
Example: I'm on a UNC share with this very long path \\server\share\path1\test\
...and I want to right-click on the "depot" folder and map a drive directly to it.
I've spent some time researching this but so far no luck. Thoughts?
