No need to do share stuff, just apply permissions directly to the folder itself.(2) WRT Media Browser accessing media across a network file share, the trick is to make sure that the MCX user profile runs a logon script that maps the drive in question - having it mapped on your MCE desktop account is not enough.

The MCE user just reads the folder on the PC, not a share over the network.Just go to C:\ProgramData, right click MediaBrowser, select Properties. Now click on the Security tab and hit the Edit button. Click Add and type in the name of your MCE account and hit Ok (Ok, Ok).I know it might sound a bit harder, I'm just in favour of the principle of least privilege :)Matt I just tried this and found you don’t need to share the directory, just give your MCE account permissions on the directory.
