Notepad++ ver 6.6.9 cannot save to network mapped drives

I'm on a Windows 7 machine and put most of my stuff on a mapped network drive. Other apps don't seem to have a problem, but I just tried to save something from Notepad++ and my network drive doesn't even show up in the Save As dialog. I'm not sure I've ever tried to save from this app to my network drive, so I don't know if this has ever worked.

Any thoughts?

Are you running N++ as admin (look for "Admin" in the title bar)? Drives mapped by user X can't be seen by programs running as user Y.

Hi Neiby,

I used a portable installation of Notepad++ and never have problems save files on network drives (where a network share is mapped to a drive letter). Are you sure that your Notepad++ process have write access to your network drive?
