Feature request.
It would be very handy to make it possible to open images from the drive with no letter assigned.

eg. potplayer can easily open video files from the same drive.

This can't be main way of opening files, only if additional. Because

In addition, you’ll probably need to keep several network-related services and drivers running to use it (Workstation, Computer Browser, Server, TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, NetBT, DHCP, DNS, etc.)
