Somewhere along the line when mapping/setting shares on an NT4.0 server managed to get an Admin Shared drive O$. It is identical to D$ (a valid local drive) and drive properties shows as local drive. I've tried Not Shared, but it keeps coming back. I just want to remove this one share (O$) not C$,D$,E$.

Try the following:

Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).

Locate and click the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\AutoShareServer
Change the value of the AutoShareServer key to 0.

Quit Registry Editor.

This will avoid that the administrative share are recreated automatically.
