show full path in network address bar

Question

_{Tuesday, February 21, 2017 4:58 PM}

I would like the windows 10 operating system to show the full path in the address bar. I have found the setting to do this but it seems that it does not work. to find the setting go to - File explorer, View tab, far right side click options, select Change folder and search options in the drop down menu, select the view tab in the new window, click on the setting display the full path in the title bar.

This does not work. I have 5 windows 10 pro upgraded machines that this setting is not working on. All of them still show the Mapped drive letter instead of the full path. Does anyone know what is wrong.

Thanks

On my machine I set display full path sometime ago. Works. But I have turned it off, and it is still on! So hmm that is odd to me.

Has been a couple of builds since then (Insider build) and rebooted but still show full path in title bar, restored default still show full path.

I just checked a windows 7 pro machine that I just completely re-installed and updated. It is doing the same thing as my windows 10 pro machine. I checked the setting to display the full path and then rebooted and it is still showing the mapped drive.  Is there some place in the registry where it shows the info on mapped drives.

Thanks

Ok realised I was looking at the address bar in error! doh my bad!

So looked some more, mapping to a Windows 10 PC does show the path. A map to my VMware-host does not.

So what is the mapped drive you are mapping too?
