C drive, Windows 7, Windows 7 Administration, Windows 7 security, Windows 7 security software
Is it possible to disable the automatic sharing of the root of the C drive on all Windows 7 desktops? This is a huge security risk in my book. Suggestions if not? Reasons for not? How can I disable it?

Answer Wiki:
We have all C drives shared out in our network, which allows back-end access for all sorts of updates and maintenance which can be done quickly and efficiently from the Administrator's desktop - in most cases, without even disturbing the user while they work. It should be simple enough to turn off the sharing on your C: drive - you haven't given much information, so I don't know if you are looking for a GPO to do this is an AD environment, or if you are looking for something as straight forward as going into the properties of the C: drive and turning it off from there?
