Go to http://www.petri.co.il/disable_administrative_shares.htm and see if
the AutoShareWks or AutoShareServer registry keys have been created and set
to "0". This is the only thing I am aware of that will inform
NT/2000/XP/2003 to stop creating the administrative shares automatically.

What makes you think that it is not enabled? What happens
when you start a Command Prompt and type this command:

net use x: \\%ComputerName%\c$
 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

Add Value of type REG_DWORD. 0 = disable, 1 = enable

Set "AutoShareServer" to "1" to enable Server
Set "AutoShareWks" to "1" to enable workstation.

thanks.. i didnt try it but apparently all the employees are able to connect
to the server now....
so, as the saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
I'm leaving well enough alone for now...

thank you very much for your helps.
 
I suspect that you never had a problem at all. I also suspect
that you will have a problem soon: If all your employees are
able to connect to the default administrative share c$ then
you must have given them adminstrative privileges. This is
a recipe for a disaster to happen . . .
 
actually, all the shared files are on the "D" drive not the c drive which is
why i wasnt too concerned if the c$ was there.
