Explanation
Shares ending in a dollar sign (e.g., C$, ADMIN$, IPC$) are Windows administrative shares - hidden shares created automatically by the OS for remote management. Access is restricted exclusively to members of the local Administrators group (or Domain Admins on a domain-joined machine) and cannot be granted to standard users, Power Users, Domain Users, or Remote Users through normal share permissions. This is a built-in Windows security boundary to prevent non-admins from browsing entire drive volumes remotely.
