I've created a shortcut referencing a folder via Volume ID (GUID) (e.g. \?\Volume{GUID}\ExtShared) instead of a drive letter so that when drive letter changes for this drive (as it can happen if e.g. another USB drive uses the same letter) I can still use the shortcut without worrying it'll break.
However, I've noticed a couple of odd things with this way of path reference:
- Cosmetical - it would be nice to have the address bar resolve GUID to a drive letter and display that drive letter instead of the ugly GUID
- I can't delete any files while in this view (although I can create files and folders)
- The .. parent item line (two periods at the top of a folder view) doesn't work to navigate to the root of the drive (it does work to navigate one folder up in any folders further down the path). Other modes of navigation (Cursor Left Arrow or Backspace) work just fine at any folder level
Is there a way to fix this somehow?
Thanks
