First, if you don't want a share exposwed by the other machine, you'll have to use the administrative drive shares (if those haven't been removed!). That would mean you have to use the UNC path to teh machine in the form of \\_machineName_\**C$**\someFolder\someOtherFolder\filename.ext. The problem is that your code has to be running under account that is recognized by both your machine and the target machine NAD IS AN ADMIN LEVEL ACCOUNT ON THE TARGET MACHINE.

That's the only method you have. The "domain" would be the name of the target workstation since the admin account your use must be on that workstation. That's IF the workstation is not part of a domain.
