Now you can see an icon with a hand holding the folder. By having only one set of permissions to manage, security access levels are less confusing, and you avoid possible conflicts with share permissions.
In addition, NTFS security permissions apply to both remote network users and local users, so users cannot circumvent security permissions by logging on to the local computer. To remove a shared folder from the Shared Folders snap-in, simply right-click the shared folder and select Stop Sharing. Click Yes and the folder will no longer be shared on the network. Windows XP Professional automatically creates shared folders by default each and every time the computer is started.
When users browse through the My Network Places window, for example, they cannot see that such hidden shares even exist; Microsoft Windows Networking does not allow hidden shares to be displayed. The default hidden network shares include the following:. IPCs support communications between objects on different computers over a network by manipulating the low-level details of network transport protocols.
IPCs enable the use of distributed application programs that combine multiple processes working together to accomplish a single task. When a remote computer connects to a printer over the network, the appropriate printer driver is downloaded to the remote PC.
Although you can temporarily disable hidden shares, you cannot delete them without modifying the Registry which is not recommended , because they get re-created each time the computer restarts.
You can connect to a hidden share, but only if you provide a user account with administrative privileges along with the appropriate password for that user account.
Administrators can create their own custom administrative hidden shares simply by adding a dollar sign to the share name of any shared folder.

When you, as a network administrator, grant access to shared resources over the network, the shared data files become very vulnerable to unintentional, as well as intentional destruction or deletion by others.
This is why network administrators must be vigilant in controlling data access security permissions. If access permissions to shared folders are too lenient, shared data may become compromised. On the other hand, if access permissions are set too stringently, the users who need to access and manipulate the data may not be able to do their jobs.
Managing access control for shared resources can be quite challenging. By right-clicking a shared folder and selecting Sharing, you can modify some of the shared folder's properties. You can specify whether network users can cache shared data files on their local workstations. To configure offline access settings for the shared folder, click the Caching button to display the Cache Settings dialog box.
