Windows Shares
see also: 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
