Mounted folders disappear in shared folders after navigating to them in Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2
Volume mount points in shared folders may sometimes appear as 'Hidden' when you navigate through the content of the folders and click 'Back' in Windows Explorer.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products in the Applies To section of this article. The symptom occurs due to an issue with SMBv2.
Configure the following registry key on the client machine:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
Create a DWORD value named
DirectoryCacheLifetime and give it a binary or hexidecimal value of
0.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
