Enable Mapped Drives in Elevated PowerShell and Command Prompt contains the registry files to enable mapped drives when running the PowerShell and Command Prompt as Administrator, which is disabled by default.

Windows 7, 8, and 10 disable mapped drives by default from an elevated command prompt or elevated PowerShell when UAC is configured to 'Prompt for credentials.' We can bypass the default setting in the Registry.

Advanced users can open the Registry Editor and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Create a new DWORD (32-bit Value) called EnableLinkedConnections.

1 = Enabled
0 or Delete = Enabled.

Everyone can download the registry files to accomplish this quickly.

This tweak is included as part of MajorGeeks Registry Tweaks.
