Hi Simon, Good to see Fellow South Africans partaking in this group. Automatic Hidden Shares (Windows NT/2000/XP) It is possible to disable the sharing at run-time, but this tweak will stop the automatic sharing (\\server\c$ and \\server\d$) altogether. 1. Open your registry and find: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters 2. Create a new DWORD value of either a) 'AutoShareWks' for NT Workstation or b) 'AutoShareServer' for NT server. 3. Set the value to equal '0' to disable sharing. If the values already exist then modify them to change the value. Value: (0 = disable shares, 1 = enable shares) 4. Restart Windows and the automatic shares should not be created. Extracted from the attached Registry Guide. Regards Lennard-Peter A.
