good morning\evening sirs ..
i want to ask about Network Files Sharing and Protection ?
i am in local network .. and i want to protect my computer from access by
anyone ..
i tried to make a password to my computer but i don't sure is it working or
not !
Yesterday i scanned for files shared in my network ..
and i used 'SoftPerfect Network Scanner'
and i changed its options to scan in all shared resources like folders
,printers ,ipc ,etc ..

and when i searched ,i found all my drivers shared !!
and i found my drivers without any protection or password !! but the other
users computers were protected by passwords ..
so i am afraid from anyone access and steals my private files and folders ..

Your resolution:

This involves a registry mod. Usual caveats apply, make sure you understand
what you are doing or you could cause far greater trouble!
The 'Admin shares' (C$ etc) are present on all Professional/Business grade
Windows computers as-supplied. Microsoft don't see this as being a security
issue. Personally I question this stance. The key risk is that if two
networked computers have identical Administrator credentials, then logging-on
to one as Admin gives unrestricted access to the other's disks. This may be
unexpected, and highly undesirable.
They are necessary for some domain-management functions, but not for
workgroup-based networks. If you aren't in an Active Directory domain then I
would be inclined to disable them.
