well i would consider it public share since it did say that "everyone" has full rights to the C: drive..

and we do both know that one way or another that folder can be maliciously tampered, its just a matter of knowing HOW to see that folder...

there is a tutorial that i read on how to access file and print sharing of someone's computer over the net.. and i personally tried it on my Win2K professional box and it did work.. i managed to access my C: drive at home from skool and i can delete and add files and even modifly the files as if i was in the computer myself.

i tested it since i heard a lot of complains from my friends that their files have gone missing and someone hacked in.. as soon as i checked their computer the C: drive was on share and gave everyone full access to it.. and these people dont know anything about computers and they couldnt possibly set this sharing up themselves... and this has always been the case.

i havent heard such complains like this about Win2K Advanced Server.. and as far as i know.. the last time i installed the Advanced Server and checked the settings, the C: drive wasnt on share. but the printers were...

its pobably all comes down to the distributor of the Win2K Prof O/S CD.. since i heard that some of you here have your C: drive unshared by default..

Same case as the XP... on the last post some guy said his "desktop sharing" was set on by default.. which is wierd coz as far as i know.. they are set off by default..

Too many innocent users have been victimized by these default settings... and too many of us (well me and my friends) have sent a complain to M$ but so far they only gave my friends $1,000.00 compensation..

its good for my friends.. but what about the other normal users that havent got victimized YET..
