Tweak of the week
Tweak #9 - september 26, 2001
On Windows NT or 2000, all your hard disk partitions are shared by default.
They have names like "c$".
These shares are hidden, but can be accessed by someone who knows the administrator password.
This poses an enormous security risk.
This tweak disables the automatic sharing.
Go to the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters
On a server, add the following REG_DWORD value:
AutoShareServer
On a workstation, add the following REG_DWORD value:
AutoShareWks
Set this value to 0.
This reg file does the work for you.
The file works both on workstations and servers.
