Summary	0016180: Network shares aren't discovered
Description	I just tested this with 2218 on Windows 10 and clicking Network > Microsoft Windows Network fails to open any discoverable networks (either in the tree nor in the tracklist window)! FURTHERMORE, there isn't any way of manually browsing this content via Folders > Network (since there's no way of manually entering the path). This also fails in the 'Add network folder' window. The only way to add a network folder is to manually copy the path from Explorer and paste it into the 'Add Network Folder' dialog. Note: MM4 doesn't work either (this has long been unreliable, but seems completely not working in Win 10) even though Explorer and FreeCommander work correctly.

Manual entering of Network path for first scan will add that path to MM5 Network listing and User will be able to browse device even it is not seen in network thru windows explorer. I checked Forum and it is acceptable solution for users ATM (based on replies). Further improvements will be handled thru new bugs if needed.
