When networking has been installed on a Windows machine, it will
automatically create hidden shares to the local disk drives. It is
possible to disable the sharing at run-time, but this tweak will stop
the automatic sharing altogether.
This tweak can be easily applied using WinGuides Tweak Manager. Download a free trial now! |
Open your registry and find the key below.
Create a new DWORD value of either 'AutoShareWks' for NT Workstation or 'AutoShareServer' for NT server. Then set the value to equal '0' to disable automatic sharing. If the values already exist then modify them to change the value.
Restart Windows and the automatic shares should not be created.
Note: The shares are normally accessed via \\server\c$ and \\server\d$ depending on the drive letter.
