    Hey guys,
    At my workplace, we use \\ip\c$ all the time and it's so useful. I tried this at home on my laptops (Win 7 Ultimate) and I always get Access Denied message when I try to connect. I can connect to other shared folder, but not C$! I checked Shares in Computer Manager and it's there as a default share, but I can't connect.
    I also, tried entering workground\username and that didn't work either.

    Any suggestions on where I should check? Is there a group policy that I have disabled or something?
