About Hidden Shared Folders

| Commentary | When looking up the list of network shares on your Windows computer, you'll probably see several entries there that you didn't create. The names of these so-called "hidden" shares have a dollar sign ($) on the end that prevents them from being seen in My Network Places or Network Neighborhood. These particular shares (like ADMIN$) are designed for use by network managers on corporate networks and can safely be deleted on a home computer. You can also create hidden network shares of your own simply by placing a dollar sign at the end of the name.
