FolderBrowserDIalog doesn't show network drives in Win 2012

I have an application, that uses a folderBrowserDialog. In Windows XP it works fine, but in Win 2012 dialog doesn't show Network Drives. I've tried to find a solution, but failed. Maybe somebody has had the same issue. Any help would be appreciated)

See this link (I know it mentions Windows 8...but 2012 shares the same kernel):

You could try setting this registry option (could be broken in Win8):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/System
    EnableLinkedConnections=1

Also see this for an explanation of why from Vista onwards with UAC turned on you may see different drive mappings:
