Removing the admin shares
run regedt32.exe

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Paramaters

Double click on AutoShareServer and set it to 0 to disable it for a server.
Double click on AutoShareWks and set it to 0 to disable it for a
workstation.
If the entries are not present, Add Value of type REG_DWORD. The Range is 0
(disable) or 1 (enable - the default).
