It will simply keep asking for the username and password as if I typed it wrong. When this feature is turned on you have no admin share — and that is a good thing.
Because all other shares have no security and no passwords. No choice. So step 1 to getting the admin share working properly under XP SP2, is to disable simple file sharing. I have an article on the subject if you are interested. An additional roadblock is the firewall built into XP.
By default it disables all access to file and printer sharing. This needs to be turned back on if you want to access the admin share. The article I linked above shows you how to do that too. Still, I can feel your concern. Why turn all this stuff back on when MS thinks it is a big security hole? To give you a choice. If you are not aware of it, then the default is to lock down. IPCs enable the use of distributed application programs that combine multiple processes working together to accomplish a single task.
When a remote computer connects to a printer over the network, the appropriate printer driver is downloaded to the remote PC. Although you can temporarily disable hidden shares, you cannot delete them without modifying the Registry which is not recommended , because they get re-created each time the computer restarts.
You can connect to a hidden share, but only if you provide a user account with administrative privileges along with the appropriate password for that user account. Administrators can create their own custom administrative hidden shares simply by adding a dollar sign to the share name of any shared folder.
Users and network administrators have several options available to them for connecting to shared network resources. These options include the following:. At this point, you are connected to that shared resource, provided that you possess the proper user ID, password, and security permissions needed to access the shared folder. You can connect to a network share from My Network Places. To use the My Network Places window, perform the following steps:.
Enter the Internet Or Network Address, or click Browse to locate the network share by viewing the available network resources. You can connect to one of the following types of resources:. Click Finish to establish the connection to the shared folder, provided that you have the proper permissions. A list of network resources to which you have already connected is then displayed within the My Network Places window.
You can create and delete shared folders from the command line instead of using the GUI. Windows XP offers several Net commands that you use from the command line. You also have the option of connecting to network shares via the Net Use command. To connect to a remote resource from the command line, follow these steps:. If you possess the appropriate permissions for that network share, you should see the message The Command Completed Successfully displayed in your command prompt window.
When you, as a network administrator, grant access to shared resources over the network, the shared data files become very vulnerable to unintentional, as well as intentional destruction or deletion by others.
This is why network administrators must be vigilant in controlling data access security permissions. If access permissions to shared folders are too lenient, shared data may become compromised. On the other hand, if access permissions are set too stringently, the users who need to access and manipulate the data may not be able to do their jobs. Managing access control for shared resources can be quite challenging.
By right-clicking a shared folder and selecting Sharing, you can modify some of the shared folder's properties. You can specify whether network users can cache shared data files on their local workstations. To configure offline access settings for the shared folder, click the Caching button to display the Cache Settings dialog box.
The default is to allow caching of files whenever you create a new shared folder. If you allow caching of files for a shared folder, you must choose from three options in the Caching Settings dialog box:.
Older copies of files are automatically deleted to make room for newer and more recently accessed files. To ensure proper file sharing, the server version of the file is always opened. This option is not designed for sharing data files, and file sharing in this mode is not guaranteed.
This setting requires network users to manually specify any files that they want available when working offline. This setting is recommended for folders that contain user documents. Click OK in the Caching Settings dialog box after making any configuration changes for offline access to the shared folder. The default cache size is configured as 10 percent of the client computer's available disk space. The Offline Files tab of the Folder Options dialog box displays the system's offline files settings, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. You can use the Cachemov. The Cachemov. In addition to the Caching button, located at the bottom of the Sharing tab of a shared folder's Properties dialog box, is the Permissions button. However, these "share" permissions are intended solely for backward-compatibility purposes; you should actually avoid changing the default settings on share permissions Everyone:Allow Full Control unless a share resides on a file allocation table FAT or FAT32 drive volume, which provides no file system security.

There is one important issue when working with Windows admin shared folders on a computer that is not joined to an Active Directory domain part of a workgroup.
Windows 10, by default, restricts remote access to administrative shares to a user who is a member of the local Administrators group. The remote access available only under the built-in local Administrator account it is disabled by default. Here is what the problem looks like in detail. At the same time, I can access all network shares and shared printers on Windows 10 the computer is not hidden in Network Neighborhood.
Also, I can access administrative shares under the built-in Administrator account. If this computer is joined to an Active Directory domain, the access to the admin shares from domain accounts with administrative privileges is not blocked. The point is in another aspect of security policy that appeared in the UAC — so called Remote UAC User Account Control for remote connections that filters the tokens of local and Microsoft accounts and blocks remote access to admin shares under such accounts.
When accessing under the domain accounts, this restriction is not applied.
