I use NT with Fat partitions and it seems to create $directories. Can they be deleted if I do not have an NTFS volume?

$ are default local shares. all NT machines have them. it would not be advisable to delete them.

$Directories are created by the OS. When security is involved... they are used by programs that call routines when the server portion is active...logged on or not. If you delete them... they will be recreated again. So, don't bother. Ever wonderhow SERVICES do thier work?

Thank you very much. It is is on a standalone machine and I like the fact that it recreates it whether deleted or not.
