We have a MOLP and I have begun to do a few upgrades. On
most of the systems, the sharing properties for the C:\
drive allow me to access the c$ like this

However, I have one system which doesn't. This is what I
get in the C: sharing properties:

It's not a big deal, but I want to setup for some remote
backups from another system, and if I can access the c$,
then I don't have to share specific folders. Makes my life
easier!
Question is, how do I get from one to the other?
Thanks
Denis

If the second system runs XP Professional, disable "simple file
sharing" to get access to the C$ share:

1. Open My Computer and click Tools | Folder Options | View.
2. Scroll to the end of the advanced settings.
3. Un-check "Use simple file sharing (recommended).

Windows XP Home Edition doesn't have the C$ share.
