I have laptop PC (Sony) in home network. On other machines I can see the laptop's icon. But when I try to access the Laptop from other PCs in my network, it stop me.
I go back to the Laptop, right click on C: driver, go "Sharing and Security", click on "sharing this driver", click on "permission", there is a window come up says: "This has been shared for Adminstrative Purpose. The permissions can not be set".
I guess there is lock in somewhere but I do not how to open it. Someone give me some ideas to open it?

Make a new share and give access to the users/groups you want to have access to it. C:-drive is shared C$ by default and is for administrative purposes and shouldn't be altered.
There is no problem in making a new share but I'd make a share on one/more folder(s) and not to the whole C:-drive. Hope this helps.
