It seems Microsoft has decided that we no longer need access to the admin shares (i.e. \\pcname\c$ etc) we've had in XP and prior versions of Windoze.
Win7 actually does have them, but it does not use them by default.
Some clever guys have found a way to do it and here it is:
- Fire up regedit
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
- Create a DWORD called LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
- Give it the value of 1
Done!
I have tried this and it works with a need for reboot but, as with all things Windoze, you probably best reboot and hold your breath.
