Understanding special shares

Understanding special shares

When you install Windows Server, the operating system creates special shares automatically. These shares are known as administrative shares and hidden shares, and they are designed to help make system administration easier. You can’t set access permissions on automatically created special shares; Windows Server assigns access permissions. You can create your own hidden shares by adding the $ symbol as the last character of the share name.

You can delete special shares temporarily if you’re certain the shares aren’t needed; however, the shares are re-created automatically the next time the operating system starts. To permanently disable the administrative shares, change the following registry values to 0 (zero):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServiceslanmanserverparametersAutoShareServer
