How to stop default shares?

[cima]

Hi all,

In windows 2000 pro, all local drives are shared as default share for administrative purpose.
How can we stop the default share since there are softwares that can browse the network ,find the shared drives and have full control over it.
Any advice?

Daniel Petri has a good discussion of disabling default or Administrative Shares:

One method is to stop the 'server' service. The effectivly disables all possible shared resources.
