Command syntax for network path

[Knack]

I want to run an executable that's stored on the local machine for doing an
operation on a remote machine. How do I express the complete path, to
include the computername with the drive and folders?

Hi

To access "c:\some folder\some file" on the remote computer, you can use the
admin share, like this:

"\\computername\c$\some folder\some file"

If this is not in a domain environment, but a workgroup, you might need to
adjust the ForceGuest registry value (as long as it is WinXP Pro)

WinXP in a workgroup setting defaults to authenticate all connections coming
from "the network" as the Guest User.
