Using the C$ command isnt working.?

I have recently reformatted all the systems on my workgroup and now when i try to use the c$ command like \\system\c$ it just comes back with a logon prompt and i guest is selected and grayed out so i cannot change it to admin. The account im using does have admin access and the only way to access the folder i want to is to share it. But sometimes i really need to access exculsive files that i do not want to share. The "$" command worked before and not it isnt. If i do browse in the command line i can see all the folders. so its not an issue of a networking error. it has something to do with some weird user rights i cant seem to find. Plus im not using a DC im just on a workgroup between 5 computers. so all i have is the SAM. Whats going on?





im using XP Pro SP3 on all the systems.

Using the C$ command isnt working.?
SP3 hasnt come out yet, there are no previews miscrosoft has said numerous times they aren't near completion yet so any previews released are incomplete. you've downloaded a hacked service pack and it's messed up your settings.





The hidden shared folder for entire directories are only accesible by administrators anyway, the cli simply tells you the files exist, you have no access to them. If I were you I'd share the C drive and specify users at that level rather than use the default settings and hope only the admins can see it if you get me :S.
