RE: IPC$ and share...

Hi Zak,

IPC$:
=====
IPC$ is shared by default. You can use the command "net share IPC$
/delete" to stop the machine from listening on it, but when the Server
service is restarted (or a reboot) IPC$ will be shared again. The Server
service is in place when "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks"
is installed.

There is no way to force XP to stop listening on IPC$ permanently OTHER
than uninstalling "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks".
Uninstalling this disables the ability to share any folders and other
machines would not be able to connect to your machine via SMB and RPC.
Examples of this would be Start - Run - \\machinename or the "net use" or
"net view" commands, file copies, etc.

AutoShare of Volumes:
====================
Through the registry you can disable the automatic sharing of Admin$, and
all of the volume shares that are created automatically.

The following KBs give the details:
