VMWare shared folder inaccessible with Administrator account

administratorshared-foldersvmware-player

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?

Best Answer

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