How to remove IPC$ share via regfile?

[kukris]

How can I get rid of the IPC$ Share (interprocess communications) via a reg setting or other means?

I can get rid of the admin shares by using the following reg key.

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

Is there something similiar for the IPC$ share?

Hi Kukris, and all the others who may be interested (I know that this post is nearly 3yrs old, but I only stumbled upon it today).

The only way to disable the IPC$ share is to disable the Server service. Now this will not stop you from your browsing/normal day-to-day workings but no-one will be able to see what's on your PC (that's the theory).

Microsoft O.S.s' are like swiss cheese....Stick to Linux/Unix. If the Mars missions are piloted by UNIX operating systems....there must be a reason...makes you think, doesn't it??
