CREATE AN ADDITIONAL SHARE NAME FOR A FOLDER

Exam Highlights

Before taking the exam, review the key points and terms that are presented in this

chapter. You need to know this information.

Key Points

If you cannot access the Security tab of a file or folder’s Properties dialog box or

if you cannot assign shared folder permissions to a folder, Simple File Sharing is

probably enabled.

Users of the Administrators or Power Users groups can share a folder. Users who

have been assigned the Create Permanent Shared Objects user right can also share

folders.

You often can use the built-in administrative shares to access resources on a com-

puter when you cannot otherwise gain access. In particular, the Admin$ share is

useful because it allows you to access the system root folder of a computer. You

can also type the drive letter followed by a dollar sign (for example, C$) to access

a particular drive.
