Hello, I'm having a problem wherein I cannot automatically see my local C
drive in the remote desktop computer's My Computer. The wierd thing is I can
see the local D drive (CD drive) and any flash drives. I have a workaround, I
can map it and it'll work but I have another laptop that I use to connect and
it works just fine.By the way I have the local drives option selected so they
should be displayed. Thanks for any help or suggestions!
