Admin rights for user level shares #452

Closed Stonedestroyer closed 3 years ago

Stonedestroyer commented 8 years ago

So a problem with windows is when you run windows application as administrator you need to have a registry key added for it to detect user level shares due to security reasons.

The issue happens when jmmdesktop is reading network shares on different host, the solution is https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee844140(v=ws.10).aspx EnableLinkedConnections is the registry key that causes all this, apparently enabling it causes some security issues not documented.

I guess having the registry key set as 1 on jmmdesktop install and saving a value of the default key when uninstalling to revert, or perhaps recode jmmclient without requiring admin rights.

Wouldn't it be easier to just use UNC shares instead of mapped network shares? Works perfect for me

BTW if this is added to the install of JMM desktop please make it a setting that can be changed. I don't want or need this change on my system

This is a user specific issue.
