Shares from Windows

[Grizzly]

Just an observation 

I was playing with shares on a mixed Windows & Ubuntu (flavours and 
derivatives) home network.

Win to Win was troublesome but once I gave up on searching and just typed the 
UNC of the Host (\\Host), all worked as expected (if not as advertised), all 
normal shares were visible, next I tested using hidden shares, there they were 
only viewable if the whole UNC (\\Host\hiddenshare$) was entered in address bar 

(which is as it should be)

Now I tried the same thing from Bionic, I entered the bare Host UNC and nothing 

found, then out of old habit I added smb: in front of the UNC even though I 
have not installed Samba since a fresh install Xenial > Bionic, all the shares 
were then viewable normal & hidden

Really glad I long ago disabled & removed the default hidden share(s) Admin$, 
C$, D$ etc from all my M$ boxes, I will now have to remember to remove all 
shares after use
