Share C Drive (Hard Drive?)

[threehappypenguins]

Hi, I'm a NOOB and I am playing around with TeamViewer a bit. I'm just wondering if there is any way to view remotely the other person's C drive (not just shared drive), and if I can scan it remotely once in a while (with a scanner on my computer... like mapping the drive on my computer).

I want to be able to do this in the background without intruding. A friend of mine is completely illiterate with computers and I wanted to help out once in a while with computer maintenance so he doesn't get a ROOT KIT again!!! LOL!!!

Can someone explain to me whether or not I can do this? If so, how?

I certainly hope that this is NOT possible

You can by using the file transfer link shown on the top connection bar (at the computer that you sit at), but it correctly shows what you are doing at the remote computer

Well I have PPTP VPN set up in a DD-WRT firmware router. So I can connect to VPN and theoretically map the drive that way without intruding. I just accidentally kicked myself out when I enabled DMZ. And the PPTP connection SUCKS. I can never get a reliable connection to the router. Reason being is not only does his kids install crap in the computer (I've tried to convince him of having separate standard profiles), but also I have been setting up OpenDNS and various other time restrictions for them.

I found a much better workaround. UltraVNC works PERFECTLY. I can run it as a server on the computer I want to access, and I can also access the computers drives. Everything can be done without any intrusion. I now have an SSH server running (from Tomato, rather than DD-WRT), which I use PuTTY to connect to and forward port 80, and then I use either socks5 in Firefox to connect to the computer via the browser, or I use WideCAP's socks5 proxy to force UltraVNC Viewer to run through the proxy and act like I'm on the same network.
