RE: Disabling sharing and group policies

yes they can. In-fact, anyone who has physical access to the box can render
the majority of group policy objects useless, but that's another story. I'm
not too clear on what you are wanting to do. If you just want to get rid of
the everyone share on a local machine, disallow all anonymous access and
disable the guest account. the everyone share will still be there but it
will be effectively disabled by these settings. group policies are not
really needed to do this. Somebody please correct me if this is not the
case.

Maybe I'm saying something quite stupid but since group policies are saved
in the registry,
machine administrators can easilly bypass them.

Is there a way with Group Policies to disable sharing without pulling users
from the Administrator group or killing adminstrative shares? I'm looking
for a way to reduce "everyone" shares without flogging end users. Strangely,
that actually sounds fun.. ;c)

Please keep flames off the list.
