I read somewhere about disabling the NT4 default shares in the registry, but I can't find the equivalent for Win2K. How can I do this? I want c$ off, and I don't want it to reappear every time I reboot. Thanks in advance.
 
Hi Chootoi - here's your solution:

By default, if you delete the C$, D$, etc.. Administrative shares, they will be recreated when you reboot. To disable this feature, edit:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Paramaters

Double click on AutoShareServer and set it to 0 to disable it for a server.
Double click on AutoShareWks and set it to 0 to disable it for a workstation.
If the entries are not present, Add Value of type REG_DWORD. The Range is 0 (disable) or 1 (enable - the default)

vote for me if it works! :)
later,
pbxman
