This article does not mention security. Is it easy crackable? Bad security? worm spread this way?
... And what happens if the Admin password is blank? Everyone can read the whole C: drive???
--Yes this is the case.. if the adminstrator password is blank, all system drives are fully accessible with FULL admin rights.
--This is only true for Windows 2000. As of Windows XP Home edition and beyond, Windows implements the "ForceGuest" feature when the local Administrator account has a blank password. When a remote user authenticates to Windows XP (and later) as Administrator with a blank password, Windows will actually assign to their session a Guest access token, not an Administrator access token. This is arguably *more* secure against such remote attacks than assigning a weak or easily-guessed password to the local Administrator account.-- ParanoidMike 18:29, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
The Windows XP dialog box has Example: \\server\share Spalding 20:14, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I've suggested that the Ipc share article be merged into this, as I believe the IPC Shares are a subset/other name for of the Administrative shares M2Ys4U 13:45, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
For a variety of reasons, a user with local admin rights on his machine has inappropriately blocked remote access to his XP machine in a fit of pique (the machine is a corporate asset and has proprietary IP on it). I want to find the lowest stress way to unblock and regain access. I'll remove his local admin privileges if necessary, but I'd rather avoid this just by grabbing back access remotely. It's complicated. Using my account with Domain Admin rights, I can see the ADMIN$ drive, but not C$. Is there some way to find out what he has renamed this drive?

Plz. @somebody add them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.220.34.29 ( talk) 06:26, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
On Cygwin you can do 'cd //computer/share' and access normal shares just as if it was an ordinary directory/folder. But I have a hard time doing the same with the hidden and/or administrative shares. I guess Cygwin misinterprets the $, so 'cd //computer/c$' gives 'No such file or directory'. Does anyone know a way around this? -- Gorm ( talk) 12:19, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
