====== Windows Shares ======
//see also: [[:admin:windows:smb|SMB]]//

===== Administrative shares =====
Every disk volume on the system is shared administrative share. These are named in the form ''driveletter$'', e.g. ''C$'', ''D$'' and so on. Access them with ''%%\\computername\c$%%''.

From Windows 8.1 onwards, Microsoft disabled these for security reasons. Enable them with setting the DWORD registry key ''LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy'' in ''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\'' to ''1''.
