Where are those shares?

| Jul 16, 2010 | Comments 2



When you install Windows, there are a number of administrative hidden shares that are already configured in the operating system. What character denotes a hidden share?

A) # (pound sign)

B) % (percent sign)

C) & (ampersand)

D) $ (dollar sign)

E) (the invisible sign)


The answer: D) $ (dollar sign)

A dollar sign is appended to the end of a share name to hide the share name from view. In order to access the share, you will have to have specific knowledge of the share and access it specifically by name.

To make the most of a network connection, you’ll need to know how to share files, configure network printers, and setup browser configurations. In this video, we’ll show you how to take advantage of these network resources and how to use Windows services to help manage your network resources.

    I paid the $20.00(Worth it)and downloaded 435 questions from here. I went through them and got 396/435 or 91% right. I feel like I need a drink after all that. It gives me confidence in doing this. Three months ago I bet I would have gotten about 20-30% right. The ones I got right I knew 100%, no guessing. But there was about 20 repeat questions The majority of the question I got wrong were related to networking, audio files, lossy and lossless crompession files and some command line utilities. I think these are easier then the actual exam but it makes you feel good to know how much you have learned. I also use CompTIA A+ CliffsTestPrep, 780 questions and trickier wording. Up to 90% on the first 600 questions. And use Mike meyes Videos. Bought his video before I knew of the free website. Could have saved $600.00. Mike meyers gets a LITTLE more in depth in some areas. I find myself on this website more though. Built two systems in the past three weeks and got VMware player and have win2k-pro,winXP-pro,Vista business to load on Vmware player to get some good hands-on on all three operating systems. I don’t have a job in the computer field yet. Anyone have any advice on any study material that is available for little money or free?
    Thanks….Mark

    By study material I meant test questions that are closer to the ones they will ask you on the actual CompTIA exams.

    Thanks,
