Turn off WIN8 system default sharing improve system security

In the Win8.1 system, some shared folders are hidden, and there are security risks as each user has the right to access them. Here are some tips to teach you how to turn off administrative sharing.

Win8.1 Default-enabled hidden administrative shares:

• Root partitions or volumes

• system root Directory

fax$ Sharing

ipc$ Sharing

print$ Sharing

The opening of these shares allows any user with administrative access to your computer or Active Directory (Active Directory) domain (connected state) to enter any partition without the need for you to actively share the file, as he has obtained your account credentials. In the Win8.1 system, all partitions are open to administrators through the Manage Shares feature. So this mechanism is a security risk, you can take the following three ways to completely shut down the sharing function.

1. Shutdown Server Service

① on the Run, Task Manager, or start screen search bar after entering services.msc, open the "service";

② find the server, double-click to open;

③ Select Disable in Startup Type, and then click "Stop" after "service status" to determine.

This approach closes the administrative shares mentioned at the beginning of the article, but is "overkill" for users who need to turn on sharing and some file sharing, such as print and fax. The next two ways are more appropriate for this segment of the user.

2. Close "Manage Shares" in the registry

Although it is in the registry, but this method does not bother, but it is better to back up the registry before the modification, so as to prevent errors caused unnecessary trouble. Can use the soft magic cube Cleaning master to complete the operation, convenient and quick.

The specific methods are as follows:

① opens Registry Editor after entering regedit in the Run, Task Manager, or Start screen search bar;

② positioning to hkey_local_machinesystemcurrentcontrolsetserviceslanmanserverparameters;

③ Create a new DWORD (32-bit) value, rename it to AutoShareWks, and set its numeric data to "0" and then click OK.

3, the use of soft magic cube set the master to close the "management share"

① Open the latest version of the soft Rubik's Cube, to find "set master";

② Select network share settings in network settings;

③ in "Sharing settings" Check the administrative shares you want to cancel, generally the first three items should be checked, remember to click "Save Settings", and then in the "shared list" You can choose to clear the IPC share, the project risk is higher.

These three methods have little operating coefficients and are also suitable for Windows systems such as WIN10.
