I see that shares are categorized into different types:
- Common share
- Administrative share
- Write accessible share
- Restricted share
- Shared printer
Can you give a description for each share type and how they differ from each other?

A common share is a shared folder that is not one of the following types:
- Administrative share is a special hidden folder (like C$, D$, admin$), automatically created by Windows and used in network administration.
- Write accessible share is a folder that the current user can write into.
- Restricted share is a folder that the current user cannot access.
- Shared printer is a printer shared on the network.
