C$ share in Win2000

[amaandoi]

Hi,
I have a problem. There is a default share for drive (C) in Win2000, I mean C$. I'm chossing to not share the drive and it's working, but when I restart the PC, it come's back. What can I do?

I pulled this from a matching forum on Computing.net which may do the job for you.

Personally I would leavethe share there and follow the advise at the bottom of the entry I've pasted in.

Good luck

You can delete them as follows:

You can disable the automatic sharing (default Administrative shares) by creating two registry entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ LanmanServer\Parameters. Create a DWORD entry called AutoShareWks, setting the value to zero (0). Do the same for a new value called AutoShareServer

I haven't tried this myself so I can't tell you if it will work or not. I never worry about it, I just remove the everyone group from administrative shares and leave it at that.

What do youi mean working?

If you are logged in with the same username on two computers you'll be able to map even if default share is c$.

If you are not there is no way someone can map to your drive

If you're that worried about it, simply go into your local security policy console and remove all users from the "allow network login" policy. This way, no matter what you have shared, no one can mount it anyway. ________
