Administrative Shares

I have not found a way to RENAME the admin shares (C$, D$, ADMIN$, etc). The normal thing is to just remove them with the following Registry tweak:

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters
Name: AutoShareServer for servers
Name: AutoShareWks for workstations
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0

hope this helps

Deleted admin shares get recreated on reboot. As a workaround you may want to try the following:

- Create a batch that deletes the admin shares and creates a new onesnet share with the name you desire (i.e., net share c$ /delete)
- Place the batch file in the startup group for all users.
