I have a home network and want to share everything. But sometimes it doesn't give access to desktop, Windows, and Program Files. How can i make it so there are absolutely no restrictions?

There is files that can not be shared, like certain system file.

If you have any specific share instructions cancel them and issue a general share command for drive C:

All hard drives should have administrative shares set by default. This means you can connect to the c drive by typing \\computername\c$

There is also an admin$ share (\\computername\admin$) that takes you directly to the winnt folder.

How do you make it login with anything but Guest I'd like to login with a username I already have on a computer... The field is greyed out for me.
