Attatch database - cannot browse to database I have installed MS SQL Server Developer 2014.  I am trying to attach the Adventure Works database.  The usual process I would follow is:

1) Right click on Databases
2) Select Attatch
3) Click Add

Step four usually involves navigating the file system to find the .mdf and .ldf, however instead of a file system I see this:



I am a Developer and not a DBA.  I am also new to SQL Server 2014.

What do I do now?
Just to eliminate access or permission related issue.... Check the following below:
**What login is running the SQL Service - For testing, change this to localsystem or a local administrator
**Are you running your SSMS with administrative privileges - If not run as administrator before connecting to your instance

Also try using other modules in SSMS that would require a browsing to a file and check if that works. For example, instead of using the attach option, test using a restore from backup. HTH
