Annoying wordpress password confirmation

If you keep getting the wordpress password confirmation while trying to install a plugin, you might need to check your file permissions.

Make sure that the WordPress files have the same user permissions as the user that that apache is running as.

You will no longer have to enter your password constantly.

Hidden Shares Microsoft Windows

Hidden shares are characterized by the “$” at the end of the shares name.

If you do a \\computername\ , you will not see the hidden shares. However if you do a \\computername\C$ , you will be able to see the content of the C drive ( if you have proper access) because the C drive is a hidden share.

To get more info about a hidden share, visit the Microsoft link referenced below.
