Windows 8 - Cant see network shares in dialogs for programs running elevated

I had an issue with Visual Studio not seeing projects that were on network shares, and programs not seeing network shares in dialog boxes. The common factor was the programs were running at UAC elevated level

If that happens to you, as it did to me, set the following registry entry

In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, add a DWORD called EnableLinkedConnections and set it to 1 (True)
