Yeah I searched google & read that, which is why I said-
You can do it through Computer Management but they'll be re-enabled at reboot
Thanks to everyone for your help in pointing out the Win2k Reg Key location is still correct, and if this doesn't previously exist it can safely be created. Doing this worked a treat. :) -----Original Message----- From: flur [mailto:flur () flurnet org] Sent: Tuesday, 10 December 2002 10:33 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Cc: Leon Pholi Subject: Re: XP admin shares Try reading Microsoft Knowledge Base Article #314984 entitled "HOW TO: Create and Disable Administrative Shares on Windows XP".

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\AutoShar eWks doesn't seem to exist. Any ideas? Thanks, Leon
