There is a way to kill Administrative Shares, use at your own risk. I do this all the time with no ill effects to date. Of course, I wont guarantee your useage ;) I found this tip quite a while ago at:
http://www.jsiinc.com/reghack.htm This is tip #0096 It works for me on Win2K and WinXP. Removing Administrative shares. By default, if you delete the C$, D$, etc.. Administrative shares, they will be recreated when you reboot. To disable this feature, edit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters Double click on AutoShareServer and set it to 0 to disable it for a server. Double click on AutoShareWks and set it to 0 to disable it for a workstation. If the entries are not present, Add Value of type REG_DWORD. The Range is 0 (disable) or 1 (enable - the default).
