I have a question regarding security of files saved to my local C drive. If I right click on the C:drive icon, and go into "properties" this brings up a series of tabs including one that says "Sharing". Under this tab there is the option to share this drive with others on my network. Right now it is set to share, with a share name of "C$" . What happens if I click the box that says "Do not share this folder"? I'm sure that network administrators, etc. would still have access to my C:drive somehow.
Anybody know what this setting allows?
