Yes. They are well known.
and how can I disable them?

You can't permanently. As soon as you reboot the machine they're recreated.

Question is moot. ;-)
 
stopping ther server service seems to remove these shares. what kind of
problems would
stopping the server service create?

It sort of breaks networking in some subtle ways and has some cascading
effects.

You can try leaving that service stopped, but if you're running a LAN it
will break some things.
