There are 16+ drives between the two computers. Moving hard drives between the two is physically impossible. 1. The drives are mapped at login. Windows Explorer sees the drive. After I login, other applications such as Winamp, Notepad, etc.. view, play, and edit files on the mapped drives without problem. 2. Desktop is turned on after the server. After I login, Apex's sharing drive listing does not show the mapped drives. Any other program using Windows' Open/Save File dialogs see the mapped drives. The drives show up after I view all of the mapped drives in Windows Explorer.

I have two computers: desktop and file server. The desktop connects to the internet while the file server connects to a second NIC on the desktop with a crossover. I mapped several network drives from my desktop to the file server. I shared the mapped drives with Apex, which I installed onto the desktop. After I boot both computers and login the file server from the desktop, I run Apex. I have 0 B of shares coming from the network drives. If I goto File > Settings > Sharing Tab, then one network drive shows up. I close the settings window. I view all of the network drives through Windows Explorer. I view the Sharing Tab again, I see the network drives. I re-add the drives, and they are shared. When I login, I click one of the network drives (hence one network drive shows up in the listing). Is there another way that would allow Apex to see all of the network drives without this long "hack?" I don't know the mechanism that Apex uses to handle network drives. After I login, other applications such as Winamp work file with the network drives (even if I don't view them with Explorer).
