Win 2000 sharing drives

the drives in windows 2000 are shared automatically - the share name
is drive$

so for example your computer is called xyz then C: would be xyz\c$

Hi,
I can happily share folders but cannot fathom how to share drives using
Windows 2000.

Can it be done?

Thanks,
Rick

click start --> run and type \\computer_name\c$

or to map a drive type net use drive_letter: \\computer_name\c$
