RE: About default sharing folders in Windows

Can't delete Administrator or Guest. Rename & Disable them, then create dummy accounts with those two default names. All acl's are checked against the SID's not the actual name and the SID's won't change with a rename. Therefore if you can't delete it and renaming it won't remove the assignments, you're hosed. There are tools out there that will scan your filesystem for rights, can't remember any just now. Audit the system and manually remove rights.
