Hidden Share Folder/Drive

Hello....

Well, my technical knowledge on networking isn't that deep.
So, i was wondering... I did hear the hidden sharing of folder/drives(other pc in the nework),

Something like "C$",

1. How do you actually access it?
2. How to disable them?

Thanks.

uhhh...ok lemme try and decipher this lol...

I believe you access it through your Network places, and disabling it is just deleting the connections or getting off that network or router.

Re: Hidden Share Folder/Drive

Remember that the computer has to be on your network for you to access it, and to Disable shareing of drives, Right Click, Sharing & Security, then the Sharing tab.. You should then see the details of the drives sharing capabilitys, near the top there is a radio button that says "do not share this folder"; that is what you want to check!

Well thanks both of you...

I tried to access them both ways( \\192.168.1.3\C$ , \\pcname\C$ ),
but both of then require a password (popup control box)in order to access the drives.
When i check, that pc doesn't uses any password to log on.
I have already share the C drives with the share name "C$"

What could be the problem.

Thanks..

Re: Hidden Share Folder/Drive

Firstly I would wonder why you wnat to do this? are you the local network admin guy for these PC's? if not then you may get into a bit of trouble for looking at someone elses PC.

Anyways, you need to right click on the local disk (c:/ and then hit the sharing tab. ensure that the drive is shared as c$. you then need to go into the security tab, and add the user group to the PC i.e. 'adminuser' or add your individual network account.

you can then do as the above and open the folder by entering \\computername\c$\

if all that fails, then check that the network cable is in the back of the PC!

If that is the case, how am I be able to be registered into that domain?

All pc in my place is connected through a HUB, No Server, No Login.
Just a simple sharing file through the same workstation.

Thanks.

Does windows XP Home Edition support this "advance file sharing"?
Because my pc uses XP Pro, The other one uses XP Home.
In the XP home PC, I couldn't find the Advance File Sharing button. (under the Tools>FolderOption>View)

My last job interview, I've been ask this question but couldn't answer it, damn!
This has nothing to with my work now, just want to know how to use this "HIDDEN SHARE, C$" for future use.

Thanks.

Re: Hidden Share Folder/Drive

Well if you're sharing all files but there are certain ones you want to be kept private then it would be handy. I'm sure you can do it but I don't know how.

Folder Permision: http://http://www.uwec.edu/help/WinX...-advfolder.htm

Well, thats not my point.
If that is the case, we can use "folder permission" on a specific folder (that we like to share) that will allow certain user to access them.

About the "Hidden Sharing C$", I just wanted to "learn" the practical way of it, how to use it.

When to use it?? Leave it to me...
Thanks.
