I cannot access the C: drive of another computer on my home network. It complain about not having access to it when I do have access.

I have two computers (Windows 7) on a home network. When I map from one computer to another, I go to "Run", type in \\ksolpc01, and it opens a Window fine after I put in proper credentials. However, when I map to \\ksolpc01\c$, and put in proper credentials, it gave me error message attached. What do I need to configure to map successfully to the C: drive of one computer on my network to another?

I do not like disabling UAC (although that will work). So that is why I suggested setting up a share name. That works in harmony with UAC turned on. This works on my Windows 7 machine and also on my Windows 8 machine. I am in agreement with Darr's last point.

make sure you are typing in the remote computer name first i.e.
ksolpc01\<admin account name>
then the password

@rtangaccurate - Did you try the things we suggested? You can share a drive and you can get access. I do this myself.
