I can't access the admin shares (C$, D$ etc) on the wife's PC running 
Windows 7 from my laptop running Ubuntu 9.10 (haven't tried it from XP 
yet so I don't know if it's something to do with changes to Windows 7), 
but I can access shares I have created myself.  So for instance if I 
share my User folder on Windows, I can access it from Ubuntu 9.10.

What I have done is set the share permissions so that my user on the PC 
can connect to the share with full control.
