This article was previously published under Q126309 SUMMARY
Windows NT 3.5, 3.51 and 4.0 differ from Windows NT 3.1 in that an
administrative shares are no longer automatically created for CD-ROM drives
and floppy drives.
MORE INFORMATION
Administrative shares were originally intended for backup purposes. Each
administrative share is periodically polled by the server for the amount of
free disk space on the volume so that the administrator can be warned if
the disk is nearing its capacity.
Because issues do not apply to CD-ROM or floppy drives, an administrative
share is no longer created for these devices.
