Hi folks,
I got this little trick from a German forum (Aikon.ch). It's quite simple. All you need to do is change one little number in the File manager INI file using a hex editor. You can even do it directly on the Communicator - I used the free HexView.
1) First we want to start with a 'fresh' INI file. Use the File Manager and go to Communicator/System/Apps/Fileman and delete the Fileman.ini file. Then close the File manager and restart it - this will recreate the INI file.
2) Download and install HexView (or use a hex editor on your computer to modify the INI file). Open HexView and browse to: Communicator/System/Apps/Fileman - Fileman.ini. NOTE: File manager must be closed when we edit the INI file.
3) Browse to position 77 - that is 0070 vertical and 07 horizontal. Then select Edit On (Menu - Work - Edit On). Change the value in position 77 to 0C - that is Zero and the letter C.
4) Close the file (Ctrl+E) and exit HexView (Esc). The changes made to the file will be saved automatically. Then just start up File manager again, and Voila!:

Biiiig bonus points for you.
Maybe someone could upload the amended ini file to save everyone having to do it?

Drat! This trick doesn't seem to work on my 9300 with 5.22(1) firmware.
Doesnt work on my 9300i too...urgh.....
Works JUST FINE! on my 9300 with 5.22(1) firmware!
Perhaps you guys with problems
a) Did not delete and recreate the Fileman.ini file first
b) Did not close File manager before making the change
c) Made the change in the wrong place (should be position 77)
d) Somehow did not save the change - reopen Fileman.ini and verify the change
By the way: as instructed I entered 0C which in binary is 0000 1100 and that worked fine, BUT I noticed that on MY system, the Fileman.ini default at position 77 after recreation was 06 which in binary is 0000 0110, AND since settings in binary files are usually - BINARY(d'uh!), I made the educated guess that what REALLY makes the Z: drive visible is the 0000 1000 bit, which in hex is 08, and so tried using 0E in stead which is my default of 06(0000 0110) plus 08(0000 1000), making 0000 1110 in binary. And to no big surprise, that works fine as well...

done it... should follow proper instruction... im using nokia 9300i
after deleting fileman.ini, exit,open and exit fileman again. Then, edit with hexeditor (HexView) and exit hexeditor...
