Hi trying to map a private drive, by putting the $ at the end of the shares
name, when i try to access the drive im prompted for a user name and pass to
which i enter administrator as the user name and the appropriate password
which i know is correct, and i get this error message:

' \\someName\someDrive$ is not accessible. You might not have permission to
use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find
out if you have access permissions.

Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using
more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections
to the server or shared resource and try again. '

I go to the drives shared settings and try to change the permissions and get
the following:

' This has been shared for administrative purposes. The share permissions
and file security cannot be set.'

Any help?

Sean,

Do you have existing connections to the server, when you're trying to do this?
If you need to access additional shares, they have to accept the same
credentials as the existing shares.

What you have is a credential conflict. Do one of the following.
# Disconnect from existing shares.
# Create new shares that DON'T need administrative access (ie no "$" shares).
# Give the existing account administrative rights on the server.

BTW, Sean, posting your email address openly will get you more unwanted email,
than wanted email. Learn to munge your email address properly, to keep yourself
a bit safer when posting to open forums. Protect yourself and the rest of the

Windows XP Professional automatically creates an administrative share
for each hard disk: C$, D$, etc. You can't change the share
permissions on those shares.

If you're trying to create and access a hidden share, give it a name
with more than one letter, such as CDISK$.

To disconnect all previous connections to a server:

1. Open a command prompt window.

2. Enter this command, which will show all mapped network drives:

net use

3. For each mapped drive letter, enter this command to disconnect it,
substituting the actual drive letter for "x":

net use x: /d
