 Setting up Shared Folders

Why do we require a shared folder?

Creating a shared folder to provide such access is therefore among the most fundamental tasks for any network administrator. Windows Server 2003 shared folders are managed with the Shared Folders snap-in.

Default share available

• When you open the Shared Folders snap-in you will immediately notice that Windows Server 2003 has several default administrative shares already configured.
• These shares provide connection to the system directory (typically, C:\Windows) as well as to the root of each fixed hard disk drive. Each of these shares uses the dollar sign ($) in the share name.
