Wow I didn't know that. Just tried it and it does work. Shouldn't this be considered a security risk or something?

    it is a security concern, because it creates a share for each drive, without telling the user, and requires a registry edit to disable.

    you do need to have a username/pw with admin priveledges to access said shares though, which is prolly why ms never bothered to change it. they probably figured "its secure enough"
