Windows 2000 Everyone share

Are you referring to the administrative shares - i.e., C$ or ADMIN$? These are hidden shares (cannot be seen through browsing or Explorer) and can only be accessed by someone who has a local administrator-level user ID and password. Other than that I'm not sure what you mean by the "Everyone" share. The administrative share has been a feature of both Windows NT and 2000. I can't believe that removing it will actually cause pagefile errors, because it's designed only for allowing remote administration of a workstation by an administrator-level user. It doesn't have anything to do with local operation of the workstation. You can remove the administrative share, as long as you first create a different share name first. Some administrators believe in doing this for security purposes, but I find the administrative shares very useful across a network for managing individual workstations remotely when necessary. Hope this helps!

When you share anything in Windows 2000 Pro computers, it assumes that you want to "share" it to everyone. You can specify passwords or rights to secure this... but ultimately w2k pro is not "server."

If you do not want everyone to have access, then remove the everyone group and assign other groups or users. You can do this in Control Panel --> Users and Passwords, etc.
