Guest Johnny Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 I tried them out already, they are for XP. Vista did not work for me. Which one did you try that work for you? Can you send to me the link?

Guest Jesper Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Here are a couple of the MANY articles that pop up in a search: http://emea.windowsitpro.com/article/artic...re-created.html http://www.petri.co.il/disable_administrative_shares.htm Would it be considered impertinent to ask why you are even considering this, in light of the facts that: a) these shares are only accessible by administrators style_emoticons/ by default administrators cannot connect remotely as administrators on stand-alone Vista machines c) if you enable administrators to connect remotely as administrators, they can remotely re-enable all these shares, or create any other share they wish, even if these shares are disabled d) the firewall blocks access to all shares by default --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047010155...rotectyourwi-20 "Johnny" wrote: <span style="color:blue"> > I tried them out already, they are for XP.

Guest Johnny Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Let's say I have two computers, 1 laptop and 1 desktop. If laptop types \\desktop\c$, a dialog will pop up asking for username and password. I don't want to give the remote user a chance to prompt this question. I don't want no one to have a chance to work on the password possibility. that's why I just want to disable the default share. The first link is for Windows NT, the article was released on Nov 26, 2004 (Are you sure this will work for Vista?) The second link I tried last year when I got my Vista, it did not work, but it worked with XP.

Guest Jesper Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Assuming you have not modified the default state of your Vista box, they won't be able to work on the password that way. even if they succeed in mapping those shares they will get an access denied because the generated tokens do not have permissions to map those shares. The mechanism, assuming it still exists, which I am not sure it does, would be the same. However, since the firewall blocks all shares by default it may have been removed since removing the admin shares is superfluous now. I'll play with it a little tonight and see. --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047010155...rotectyourwi-20 "Johnny" wrote: <span style="color:blue"> > Let's say I have two computers, 1 laptop and 1 desktop. > If laptop types \desktopc$, a dialog will pop up asking for username and > password. > I don't want to give the remote user a chance to prompt this question.
