Net use to get admin access in Windows not working
I used to be able to map the root directory of a ReadyNAS using the NET USE \\ip\c user:admin command, but for some reason,that no longer works. Is there a new way?

Then you want to look at \\nasname\volumename\.apps
You mount the data volume with admin credentials. .apps is a hidden folder - you can still enter it manually in the file explorer address bar, or if you prefer, enable viewing of hidden files in file explorer first.

Ah there it is. So when one maps data as an admin, you will see the .apps folder. So now to see hidden things it is:
net use u: \\IP address\data /user:admin password
Excellent!
