Hi,

        It seems that when you share a printer in windows 98,
it'll create a
share called "PRINTER$" - which is actually your
C:\Windows\System directory.
It is not password protected and you can view everything in
your C:\Windows\System directory... even if your printer is
shared with a password.

Cheers.
