Windows 7: Unable to Access Remotely Administrative Shares

If like me, you encountered this all of sudden issue around the period of June 2011, you might need to apply all the latest updates and give the follwoing a try, it worked out for me :

Enable Hidden Administratrative Shares on Windows 7

Make the following a registry file and then open or directly modify the registry.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy"=dword:00000001

After this change, the “Server” service must be restarted.

Or simply Reboot your PC to have it take into account, of course.
