Windows 11 map connected drive to public desktop

[Pesky_UK]

I have some Windows 11 users that all have the built-in administrator acocunt enabled which I use to connect to their machines within their own sessions.

When trying to share a drive Z to them the default setting is either connect to the administrator account which is no use or to the programdata folder.

Is there a way to get the drive to appear by default on the remote public folder desktop (c:\users\public\desktop) so that it can be accessed when connected to any logged in user?

node.cfg hints that it may be possible but I’m not sure.

Hi, we have opened a Trouble Report, it is indeed a bug and we were able to reproduce similar behaviour. Please use the following link to monitor its status: https://kb.nomachine.com/TR10W11584. Thanks for taking the time to report it.

Just one other thing, can you tell us the exact steps you follow to reproduce this issue? We would like to compare your steps with our findings.

Any machine I tried it on had a Microsoft or local user account (admin level) and the built-in Administrator acocunt enabled.

I connect as the built-in Administrator account, and go to drives and connect as drive Z. The connection as an admin account maps to /users/administrator and connection as user account maps to programdata folder.
