Registry Tweaks

Disable your Default Shares
->Description of Default Share:

Every Windows NT based Microsoft Windows system (NT/2K/XP/2003) automatically creates a network share of every hard drive. These shares will allow anyone with the administrator password access to the root directory of every hard drive on a system.

These shares are the drive letter name with a "$" at the end.

-> For example:

\\NetworkComputerName\(Drive letter)$

In the real world it would look like this:

\\mycomp\c$

That would be the share of the C drive. Substitute the drive letter and it will work with any drive on the machine.

There is also a share of the Windows folder.

\\mycomp\ADMIN$



"So Its harmful that your default shares are enable

4) Set its value "0" without quotes (Zero).

5) Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer.
