Description
By default, Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/2008 share local drives and certain directories with share names like C$, D$, and ADMIN$. These shares are enabled by default and should be disabled on all workstations and servers.
As part of its IIS Security Checklist, Microsoft recommends that this feature be disabled.
