How to turn off Windows XP system default sharing

Many friends find it strange that their computers do not have a shared folder set up, but others can easily access the files on their computers. In fact, a lot of times are windows default sharing the trouble, the system defaults to a share for each partition, but after the share name is added $, so that we do not see the share of the flag, we think that there is no set up sharing, creating a security risk, then how to turn these default shared folders? Let's take Windwos XP as an example to introduce you to a few common solutions.

First, the direct closure of the law

Because the default hidden share is for partitions, we can right-click the letter name directly in My Computer window. Select Sharing and security from the menu that pops up, and you can clearly see "Share this Folder" selected in the Open Sharing Folder tab, with a "$" flag behind the shared file name. Then we just select the "Do not share this folder" option, click the "OK" button, then you will be prompted that the share is created for management, but after restarting the share will automatically be established. Click the Yes button to complete the shutdown.

Second, "Computer Management" shutdown

If we need to focus on all the hidden shared folders and turn them off, there will be a slip through the direct closure because there are no shared icons. All we need to do is right click on "My Computer" and choose "Manage" from the pop-up menu. Select the Share item under Shared folders on the left side of open Computer Management so that all hidden shares are displayed on the right, so just select and right-click them and choose Stop Sharing from the pop-up menu.

Third, "service" completely closed the law

The sharing that is turned off by both of these methods will reappear after the reboot, thus causing much inconvenience. You can actually shut it down completely in the service.

Into the Control Panel, open services in Administrative Tools, locate the Server service in the list of services on the right, and double hit open its Properties window, click the Stop button, and then set Startup type to Disabled, and then click OK when you are ready.

Automatic shutdown method of batch processing

Using a service to completely shut down can solve the worry, but normal shared services are not available. This is not easy for friends who need to use shared services.

In this respect, we recommend using the method of automatic shutdown of batch processing to solve. Open Notepad, in which you enter: NET share admin$/deletenet share C $/delete

In the hidden share list that you view in the Computer Management tools, each row, and then save the file in bat format. Drag the edited batch file to the startup item in the Start menu so that the batch command is executed each time the system is powered on, and these default shares are automatically closed.

Believe that by using the above methods, you will be able to easily plug windows default shared security vulnerabilities, but also a security.
