W Wesley Vogel Dec 18, 2005 #3 File sharing. Admin$ is special shared folder. A hidden share is identified by a dollar sign ($) at the end of the share name. The system root folder (%SYSTEMROOT%) is shared as ADMIN$. %SYSTEMROOT% = C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINNT or whatever drive. -- Hope this helps. Let us know. Wes MS-MVP Windows Shell/User In
