I have an application, that uses a folderBrowserDialog. In Windows XP it works fine, but in Win 2012 dialog doesn't show Network Drives. I've tried to find a solution, but failed. Maybe somebody has had the same issue. Any help would be appreciated)

See this link (I know it mentions Windows 8...but 2012 shares the same kernel):
You could try setting this registry option (could be broken in Win8):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/System
EnableLinkedConnections=1
Also see this for an explanation of why from Vista onwards with UAC turned on you may see different drive mappings:

Updating this registry setting fixed the issue for me – Guru Josh Sep 28 '21 at 05:46
