chapter. You need to know this information.
■ If you cannot access the Security tab of a file or folder’s Properties dialog box or
if you cannot assign shared folder permissions to a folder, Simple File Sharing is
probably enabled.
■ Users of the Administrators or Power Users groups can share a folder. Users who
have been assigned the Create Permanent Shared Objects user right can also share
folders.
■ You often can use the built-in administrative shares to access resources on a computer
when you cannot otherwise gain access. In particular, the Admin$ share is
useful because it allows you to access the system root folder of a computer. You
can also type the drive letter followed by a dollar sign (for example, C$) to access
a particular drive.
administrative share Hidden shares that Windows XP Professional creates automatically
so that administrators can access resources on a computer.
Computer Management A console that provides access to a number of management
utilities for administering a computer, including the ability to create, manage,
and monitor shared folders.
effective permissions The permissions level that a user actually has, taking all permission
sources into account.
hidden share A method of preventing users who are browsing the network from
viewing the share. If you append the dollar sign ($) to a share name, it becomes
hidden. Built-in administrative shares are examples of hidden shares.
shared folder permissions Permissions assigned to shared folders that control
access to the folder over the network. Shared folder permissions include Read,
Change, and Full Control.
shared folders Folders made accessible to users on the network.
Simple File Sharing A type of sharing that is used when a Windows XP computer
has not joined a domain or is running Windows XP Home Edition.
