Are you trying to say to create a link by "adding a network location" or "map network drive" into "This PC" explorer?
Yes, that is what I said. A desktop shortcut is another option. You can waste a lot of time trying to get the NAS to appear in network explorer, and the alternatives are much faster and always work,
Also, I said to create credentials for the NAS in the Windows Credentials Manager.

How is drive D formatted?
The usual way NTFS it just a temp directory, D: drive is where I put all my PC Software.
I just wanted to copy a file from my ReadyNAS device (Network Explorer) to my hard drive, there is another thing is my ReadyNAS device is not showing on my Network Explorer, the only way I can access the device is by typing the device name "\\(device)\", most of the time it asks for password I tried to put the right password but it failed, tried without password and worked, I logged in. Doesn't password should be exactly the same as ReadyNAS admin web page (not sure how you call it)?

One thing at a time.

The file size exceeded message has to apply to the receiving PC, since the file is already correctly stored on the NAS. So I was thinking FAT32 for temp drive d - which has a file size limit that is smaller than 6 GB. Are you sure it is NTFS?

There are two questions here - one is related to discovery (not showing up in the network list), and the second related to access. On the second point, the best way to save the credentials for the NAS in the windows credential manager. That can be "admin/nas-admin-password". That will make the access consistent.
