RE: About default sharing folders in Windows

I find those default shares to be extremely annoying, especially on my home PC where I've got a lot of extra disk space configured. So I run a batch file at startup that whacks all of the shares -  

ShareKil.bat
net share C$ /delete
net share D$ /delete
...
net share Z$ /delete
net share IPC$ /delete
net share ADMIN$ /delete  

Seems to work pretty well. Hope that was helpful.

	Can't delete Administrator or Guest.  RENAME & DISABLE THEM, then create dummy
	accounts with those two default names.
	~end snip~
	Disabling is easy and definitely a preferred configuration option.  I've done it
	wherever a customer has let me.  Deleting, well 3rd party utilities from another
	poster, I've heard about too.  Never really looked into it seriously.  I was too
	chicken-stuff!
