Post subject:  Use network drive as project folder?
Hey guys, I'm having a problem getting PC3000 to store my projects on my NAS. The program only lets me choose local drives for some reason.

I've done some searching around and the only thing I find is this: https://forum.acelaboratory.com/viewtopic.php?t=8939 which leads to Acelabs forum. I can't create an account because the site throws an error when I try to. Is there anyone who can tell me what it says?

Also, I've tried circumventing this by symlinking a folder located on an internal drive to my NAS, but that throws an error as well.

Open the registry editor as ‘Administrator’ (regedit.exe)

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Create a new parameter (DWORD type) with the name EnableLinkedConnections and the value 1

Restart computer.

Done.

I remember that regkey from a system issue we had, and in that company, EVERY change had to be investigated and documented for security... even simple things like changing a desktop background. I had a quick look for this and found a bit of info:

https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/94528/does-enabling-enablelinkedconnections-pose-a-security-risk?form=MY01SV&OCID=MY01SV

the interesting bit for me is WHY this setting works and what it does different, not so much the security.
