To start, under Vista, there is no default whole drive sharing. The "C$" share
doesn't exist, unless you enable it (not recommended).

http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2007/0...ve-shares.html
One of the reasons why "C$" disn't exist is that you don't normally have
administrative network access. And that, I'd bet, will prevent remote registry
access. I gotta research that. Maybe granularity = remote registry access for
non-admin accounts.
I haven't tried manually adding network addresses either. More work to do
later. I'll look forward to seeing what you find out about your network too.
