Thread: How to Access the Administrative Share on Networked Computers

If you have computers networked jointly in your home or office there is a way to acquire to the hard drive contents of the other computers yet if they don't have shares system. Normally you can’t observe the files on other computers on the network except there have been files or folders shared and access granted to your consumer account.

If you are a manager on all the computers or a domain manager if your network is part of a Windows domain then you can access what is called the managerial share which is hidden from non managers.
To get to the managerial share you type in the name of the computer, the drive you desire to obtain to and then add a $ at the end. For instance let’s say you desire to obtain to the managerial share on a computer named finance. You can attend the address bar in a Windows Explorer window or from a run authority box and type in \finance\c$ to access the C drive on the finance computer. If it has another drive akin to an E drive then you would type \finance\e$. Make sure you use the \ in front of the computer name too.
