Cannot access synced/offline files

I use the "Offline files" feature available through Sync center in Win 7. The files I sync are my home directory on the company network (H:\). When I boot my computer connected to the company network this works fine, even after I go offline, but when I boot offline the drive letter (H:\) is not available in Salamander, even though it's available in Explorer.
I have tried this
http://forum.altap.cz/viewtopic.php?f=2 ... ive#p18602 without success.
I'm using Salamander 2.53 and Windows 7.

Could you verify whether the drive is accessible via the Command Prompt? (Start 'cmd', type 'H:', press Enter, type 'dir', Enter, a list of your files should appear.)

H:\ is available through the command prompt. Dir also works.

Is it possible to access the drive using the Change Directory command (Shift+F7)?

Are "synced/offline" files "special", compared to simply a mapped drive letter?
32 or 64-bit Windows 7 ?

Fixed it!
Like this post
http://forum.altap.cz/viewtopic.php?f=2 ... ive#p18602 indicated, it was an access control issue. AS was running as Administrator - when I uncheck that option it works.
It could be that I applied the fix inte the above link wrongly
Thanks for your input anyway!

AS was running as Administrator - when I uncheck that option it works.
Reminded me of this:
run as a service (UAC and user permissions).
... So, much like context menus or plugins, 32-bit & 64-bit (generally) don't mesh. A 32-bit context menu item (or plugin) won't be seen from a 64-bot application, & vice versa.
And now, some operations (drag & drop in this instance) started from within a non-elevated process (Salamander in my case) into an elevated process (MPUI by virtue of starting it from within Everything), does not work.
