GetSharedResources doesn't work with hidden shareds

freddychavez has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm using Win32::NetResource::GetSharedResources to obtain the list of shares of a Windows server but I'm not getting the hidden shareds, like "c$" or "admin$". Is there any way to obtain the hidden shares?? Thanks. Freddy Chavez.

I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing if there were they'd be called "not-so-hidden" shares... :) Seriously, you'll probably have some luck if you can walk the appropriate registry entries. What those entries are is yet another thing I don't know. -- Mike	[reply]
