Administrative shares
what is the purpose of the administrative shares thath x2 displays in network places? is there any way that someone could use them to access my harddrive over a network? or if i am logged onto a domain does the administrator get root access to my drives?!

to be honest, i don't know
when you are an admin on the machine you're using, x2 asks for such hidden shares in all computers you try to access
these have always been present for the interest of administrators, backups etc
however there's no worry since you need passwords to access them, unless you are also an admin on the remote machine
