VMWare Player runs a Windows 10 VM.
I've shared a folder with this VM, setting "Map as network drive in Windows guest" to TRUE
.
I need to type a command (npm) as Administrator in the shared folder from the guest.
However, there's a problem:
As lambda user:
net use
New connections will be remembered.
Status Local Remote Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Z: \\vmware-host\Shared Folders
Dossiers partagés VMware
The command completed successfully.
As Administrator:
net use
New connections will be remembered.
There are no entries in the list.
The Administrator account does not seem to know about the VMWare shared folder.
Is there a way to access the shared folder as Administrator?

So, as said in the comments, typing
net use Z: "\\vmware-host\Shared Folders"
in an Administrator command prompt solved the problem.
