Here’s the workaround I see many using when sending mapped-network paths via email:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In Windows Explorer, hold the shift<\/strong> button down, right-click<\/strong> on the file, and select Copy as path<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. Insert a Hyperlink in the email and paste in the address field of the Hyperlink dialogue box. (Shortcut: Ctrl-V). At this point, the link will display the mapped drive letter as the root (Q:\\foo.docx).<\/li>\n
  3. Now, right-click<\/strong> and select Edit Hyperlink…<\/strong>\u00a0you will notice that the Address field has been translated back into the full UNC path (\\\\cartman\\users\\emueller\\foo.docx). With your mouse in the Address field, hit Ctrl-A<\/strong> and Ctrl-C<\/strong> to copy the full path to your clipboard, then move your cursor to the top field (Text to Display:<\/strong>) hit Ctrl-A<\/strong> and Ctrl-V<\/strong> to display it correctly in your email.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    However, finding the UNC network paths for all mapped drives is quite simple using Command Prompt:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Start > Start Search box > enter\u00a0cmd<\/b>\u00a0> Enter.<\/li>\n
    2. Command window > type\u00a0net use<\/b>\u00a0> Enter > make a note of the required path > type\u00a0Exit<\/b>\u00a0> Enter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
