How do I stop the hidden Autoshares?
Morning all. I've got a Win2K and a XP box that I'm trying to make secure but for the life of me I can't stop the C$ autoshare from starting up and coming back after reboot. How the hell do I stop it? I'm pretty much gettin frustrated with Microsoft at this point.

Thanks in advance either way.

I think that it takes a registry edit for W2K: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanworkstation]
and create the AutoShareWKS field with a value of 0.
Microsoft talks about it here - at least for NT: http://support.microsoft.com/directory/article.asp?ID=KB;EN-US;Q288164

Excellent info Sampson.
I just had one other question concerning this registry modification. I noticed that these new values not only remove the C$ share but the ADMIN$ share as well. I was just wondering what effect would that have on a Win2K Adv Server Domain Controller running AD services?
Thanks so much Sampson either way.
