Didn't have a chance to try again yesterday, but i've run the script, rebooted and no - still can't map it's c drive.

if I tick the box, I can map it.

You could just use PowerShell to enable/disiable (check/uncheck) File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks

#RequireAdmin

_FilePrintSharing("Ethernet", True)

Func _FilePrintSharing($_sAdapterName = "Ethernet", $_bEnable = True)
    Switch $_bEnable
        Case False
            ;~ Disable File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
            RunWait('PowerShell -Command "& {Disable-NetAdapterBinding -Name ' & "'" & $_sAdapterName & "' -DisplayName 'File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks'" & '}"', "", @SW_HIDE)
        Case True
            ;~ Enable  File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
            RunWait('PowerShell -Command "& {Enable-NetAdapterBinding -Name ' & "'" & $_sAdapterName & "' -DisplayName 'File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks'" & '}"', "", @SW_HIDE)
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

Wow, that actually worked - excellent, thank you.

I noticed that's for Ethernet, how could I adapt it to work for all adaptors? Would an * work?

You can use something like to enable/disable File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks for all network adapters.

#RequireAdmin

_FilePrintSharing()

Func _FilePrintSharing($_bEnable = True)
    Switch $_bEnable
        Case False
            ;~ Disable File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
            RunWait('PowerShell -Command "& {Get-NetAdapter | Disable-NetAdapterBinding -DisplayName ' & "'File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks'" & '}"', "", @SW_HIDE)
        Case True
            ;~ Enable  File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
            RunWait('PowerShell -Command "& {Get-NetAdapter | Enable-NetAdapterBinding -DisplayName ' & "'File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks'" & '}"', "", @SW_HIDE)
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

Thanks again, I've been pulling my hair out over the last few days over this.
