Let's name two computers Alpha and Beta.

I'm logged in as Alpha\administrator and Beta\administrator.

As Beta\administrator I have full access of Alpha\C$ and the rest of the default shares. However the same is not true in the opposite manner (as Alpha\administrator I do not have access to Beta\C$). Why is this?

I have not messed with the default sharing permissions and this puzzles me. Is it because I connect to the Beta machine through Remote Desktop?
