First of all : Never, for the love of God, ever leave
every one in a security or sharing with full access. This
only tells Win2k that anybody, who is either on your
network or the net, has access to the computer/folder
shared.

2nd, to remedy this situation, remove Everyone from the
security window, then add DomainUsers and DomainAdmins;
doing so will only let those 2 groups to access the
network ressources, and prevent people from freely coming
in.
