How to access C$ on my Vista machine
Hi,I have a windows vista machine which has been configured to meet a specific security level. I want to access the C$ from anothermachine by using \\ machine name\c$, but I cannot login that machine with it's admin user account. I am sure that something has been done in the group policy, but I cannot find out how to solve this problem.Anyone here familiar with Windows Vista security setting? Pls give me a hand, thanks.Michael

3. Right-click a blank area in the right pane.
4. Click New.
5. Click DWORD Value.
6. Type: LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
7. Double-click the item you just created.
8. Type 1 into the box.
