Is it possible to simulate a shared folder without changing the name of the computer?


I need run a local demo of a program that have a hardcoded path to a .mbd database in the format:

\\\ComputerName\SharedFolder\db.mbd

I can't change the name of the local machine because it is needed for logging purposes.

So is there a way to simulate a shared folder without changing the name of the computer?


Solution

  • The solution was install a virtual machine, set the same computer name and place the mdb file in the same path
