Administrative Share
The administrative shares are the default network shares created by most Windows NT-based operating systems (NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/Windows 7). These default shares share every hard drive partition in the system. These shares will allow anyone who can authenticate as any member of the local Administrators group access to the root directory of every hard drive on the system. They are not generally used or useful outside an enterprise environment, and are not accessible by default on home editions of XP, Vista or Windows 7.

Famous quotes containing the word share:
“Liberalism—it is well to recall this today—is the supreme form of generosity; it is the right which the majority concedes to minorities and hence it is the noblest cry that has ever resounded in this planet. It announces the determination to share existence with the enemy; more than that, with an enemy which is weak.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
