I would check previous threads here @ secuirty-basics. About a month ago
people were talking about that. We then received a couple hundred
responses. Please don't make us live through that topic again.


Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Just a quick one, does anyone know how to stop the default administrative
file shares in Win XP (professional edition)? One would think this would be
a standard part of locking down a box, but can't find much on it for XP.

You can do it through Computer Management but they'll be re-enabled at
reboot, and the Win2k key of
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters\AutoShareWks
doesn't seem to exist. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Leon
