How To Enable in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
By default, Windows Vista and newer versions of Windows prevent local accounts from accessing administrative shares through the network.
To enable administrative shares you have to make a registry change. Click on Start Menu and in the search box type ‘regedit’ and press ENTER. Add this registry item:
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System Name: LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy Data Type: REG_DWORD Value: 1After rebooting, the hidden share is accessible from other computers. Note that this change removes Windows' restrictions on remote User Account Control.
You may be able to use 'net stop server' and then 'net start server' from an administrative command prompt instead of rebooting.
