====== Disable administrative shares ====== I wanted to copy things from PC1 to PC2. Lazy as always I didnt want to switch the monitorsource to create a share so I just connected via c$. PC2 didnt ask for any password and I was able to browse everything. This is why I disabled all admin shares now. ===== temp. disable the shares ===== "Win + R", open "fsmgmt.msc"\\ Go to "Shares", rightclick the unwanted shares and select "stop sharing"\\ All the shares will be back again after a reboot ===== fully disable the shares ===== "Win + R", open "regedit"\\ Go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Services -> LanmanServer -> Parameters"\\ Rightclick and select new DWORD (32-bit). Name it "AutoShareWks".\\ Default value is "0" which means the shares are turned off. Set this to "1" to activate the shares again.\\ Reboot and be amazed
