How-to enable the administrative shares in Windows Vista

In Microsoft effort to tighten Windows security, the administrative shares as we used to know them (C$, IPC$ or Admin$) are not visible by default...

Hopefully, here again, there is an easy trick:

• Open the registry editor (Start > Search > Regedit - right click, run as Administrator)
• Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\system\
• Add DWORD Value LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy set to 1
• Reboot.

Now you can deploy Kaspersky Antivirus on Vista without taking that much risk.

Namaste.
