>>>This isn't a bug but a security change in Windows. Mapped drives are specific to a user's context. When you elevate to administrator, you are running in a different context, so mapped drives aren't available. As Lutz pointed out, you should use UNC volumes instead of mapped drives.

Tore, you are right.

Open Excel normally,
then open it again elevate rights,
mapped drives are seen,
Close excel all, open elevate, mappend not present.
Share the process does pay a price.
Same with Firefox.
