Can't see network drives when adding a new location while running the app as administrator #109

Describe the bug
When I run OneFolder as administrator, no network drives are listed in the folder picker.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Right-click the OneFolder shortcut
  2. Click "Run as administrator"
  3. Click "Add location"
  4. No network drives are listed.

If I skip step 1 and 2 and open OneFolder by double-clicking (not as administrator), the network drives are listed in step 4, and I can select them.

Expected behavior
I would expect to see the available network drives when trying to add a location, after opening the app as administrator.

Screenshots
I can't share screenshots.

OneFolder version

v. 1.0.14

Desktop OS

Windows 10

Additional context
I was trying to open Onefolder as administrator in an attempt to solve the error I keep getting when adding locations on a network drive, namely:

Error fired in watcher M:/folder/ Error: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, watch [...]

Location watch error: Error: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, watch [...]

But that's probably for another issue.
