1. Add or edit the following Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and add or edit the DWord Value of EnableLinkedConnections and enter a for the value.

2. Reboot the computer for the changes to take effect.

You should now be able to see the mapped network drive when opening a data file in QuickBooks.
