Disabling sharing C: drive setting does not stick after reboot or shutdown.

[David D]

Everytime I choose to disable sharing of the C: drive, the
setting goes back to sharing C: after I reboot or shut
down the system and then start it back up again. Why
doesn't the setting stick?

What is the name of the share that you're trying to disable?

I am trying to disable the sharing of the C: drive (C$),
which is the entire hard drive. When I click on Do Not
share this folder and then either reboot or shut down the
system, the next time I go into Windows the setting goes
back to sharing the C$. Why doesn't the setting stick?

It's an administrative share, that's why.

If you're paranoid and want to disable the share anyway, read
this (registry locations and key names are the same for NT and
Win2K):
