Purpose to share the C drive on network?

[Eric]

Does anyone have any suggestions on network managment what the purpose is to
share the C drive for each PC by assigning $C to hide the drive? Window
installed in C drive.
If the office has 20 PCs, and sharing C drive on the network. What is the
advantage on doing it? Can manager monitor what each PC does?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

By default - the administrative shares exist (c$, etc.)
One advantage comes with the central administrator being able to update
things on the machine remotely and en masse.
Of course - it would be intelligent to leave the Windows XP firewall enabled
and only give rights to the ports necessary to certain PCs on your network.

Over and above sharing Drive C:, I don't think XP will allow more than 10
concurrent mapped network shares.
