How do I change the default setting in XP Professional so
when my computer starts up, the C: is not automatically
shared?
 
You need to add a setting to the registry

Either use regedit and navigate to the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\lanmanserver\parameters
and add a dword named
AutoShareWks
with a value of 0

or cut the following 4 lines, add them to a text file, save, rename the
file as share.reg and double click it

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\lanmanserver\parameters]
"AutoShareWks"=dword:00000000


On Windows 2000/2003 server the value would be

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\lanmanserver\parameters]
"AutoShareServer"=dword:00000000
