Sharing Permissions

I am trying to share the C: drive on my Windows 2003 server and set the
permissions. However I keep getting an information popup when accessing the
properties that says "This has been shared for administrative purposes. The
Share permissions and file security cannot be set". I also do not see the
hand under the C:
that lets me know it is shared. I think this is becasue the share name is
C$. Would this be correct?

The same thing occurs on another drive that I have partitioned off the hard
drive.

I want to be able to adjust the permissions both drives. Can anyone help?

Standard there are admin share. You can she this with de command net share
in ms-dos.

You kan change permissions on this one, but not change the default share
name`s.

The <drive>$ shares are "administrative" shares. Invisible to the non-admin
user. the "$" makes them invisible. They are meant only so that admins will
always know how to connect to any given machine. I.E. net use z:
\\<hostname>\C$.

To accomplish what you want you will probably have to make another share.
Just choose to create a share, name it something like... "cdrive". Then,
connect using explorer, or, net use z: \\<hostname>/cdrive.

On shares you create yourself you can set permissions.
