Interesting story. Seems there are a lot of 2k/XP systems out there without adequate Administrator passwords. No administrator password means instant access to the C$ share...i.e. entire hard drive including startup folders. Even a weak password makes the system vulnerable as the Administrator isn't locked on unsuccessful password guesses as shipped.
Well, no Admin password in XP means no network access via that account. By default, XP limits accounts with no password to console access only.
