Win2k Pro HDD sharing Problem.

Hi,
Only if you have local admin rights.

hello

i would suggest logging in the workstation as administrator of the workstation. right-click c: select sharing; select do not share. put yourself in the security with full and all others that u want to have rights. take out everyone. thisfunction should not let others in by user ID but observe who all is in the security and permissions b/c this will allow access. but this will also affect how ather users have access to this workstation.

There are a few ways to stop the Admin shares (C$ and ADMIN$) from being shared out. In Win2K, here is one method.
Right-click on My Computer -> Manage. This pulls up Computer MAnagement.
Click on Shared Folders.
Click on Shares.
This brings up all shared folders on the system. Right-click on the C$ share and choose Stop Sharing. Click Yes on the nag window that will come up.
Then, that is it. The C$ share is removed. You can do the same for the ADMIN$ share.

hope this helps

I always remove file and print sharing on the workstations I set up. It is added by default but I have never found a need for it. This would solve your problem as well as alieviate network traffic and remove a security risk. Hoep this helps. Pete
