Windows Firewall and odd looking paths showing D:0\ instead of drive letter

Yes, whenever I add a rule for an application on the partition with the letter F assigned to it, the path in Windows Firewall will show D:0\<path to application> rather than F:\<path to application>. I've also seen the path for one of the applications show D:1\<path to application>. This...

Windows Firewall and odd looking paths showing D:0\ instead of drive letter

I don't think so. Also, it wasn't like this before I cloned the disk for the exact same applications.

Windows Firewall and odd looking paths showing D:0\ instead of drive letter

Actually, what I said in my post just above wasn't fully true when I said I didn't get a single hit searching the Registry for D:0\. I did get a number of hits, but they were only for the firewall rules showing the same thing I see in the Window Firewall UI. If I manually remove the rules with...

Windows Firewall and odd looking paths showing D:0\ instead of drive letter

That's good thinking and great advice but sorry to say I already tried that thinking the same. Was surprised to not find a single D:0\ in the Registry. So this seems to go even deeper into the core of Windows and its disk management. What surprised me even more was how deleting the...

Windows Firewall and odd looking paths showing D:0\ instead of drive letter

A couple of days ago, I replaced my SSD with a bigger one. On the disk, I had two partitions - one 100 GB for Windows (C:) and one 400 GB for other stuff (F:). To replace the disk, I used a tool called AOMEI Backupper which comes with a disk cloning feature. The cloning completed successfully...

[SOLVED] CMD script to create multiple directory junctions using mklink

Thanks for the suggestion! I had a quick look and found some interesting examples. What I think makes my situation a bit trickier is the numbers in the names of the folders are not in a perfect order. Instead, they look as seen below. Which makes me think I somehow need to 'fetch' the name of...

Does anyone know how to remove a picture you previously uploaded/selected but don't want anymore under 'Your Info'? The picture I'm talking about is the one you'll see during login. I thought I would change my normal picture to another one but then changed my mind. Now I have both my old...

[SOLVED] Share a folder over home network without password prompting

Found the culprit already. Using Credential Manager on the second PC, I found an old Windows credential entry for my main PC where the shared folders reside. Removing that one sorted the issue. Thanks anyway :)
