NT 4 Server losing shares when reboot

I have a NT 4 Server as PDC, DHCP server, and print server. When the machine is rebooted, it loses the C$ share on the C drive and the ADMIN$ share on the WINNT dir. This then prevents users from printing to network printers. I have to reshare the drive and dir and restart the print service and spooler twice to allow users to print.
Any Ideas? Searched MS KB, etc, no luck.

go to microsofts website and look it up. but just in case you can't find it. Here is the solution.

1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32), and then locate the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

2. Configure the AutoShareServer and AutoShareWks values to 1 (one).

3. Quit Registry Editor.

4. Restart the computer to make the shares active.
