By default parallels maps a drive on Windows 8 guest OS (z:\ to \\psf\Home). This drive is visible and usable when I'm running application that are not elevated. For application that are elevated the z:\ is not visible. I can still access \\psf\home but not z:\. I've tried the following:

But it does not help. Anyone solve this?
 
I had a same issue, but I could resolve the issue tentatively.

Create a batch file containing the below:
net use z: \\psf\Home

Run the batch file as administrator by right-click on the batch file whenever I log in Windows 8.
Then I can access the z-drive even when any application is elevated.

I tried to make a shortcut to the batch file in shell:startup but made no success yet.
 
You can add a scheduled task to run on log in that will execute the bat file with elevated privileges. Then you don't have to remember to manually run the script.
