Does Windows 2000 Server need the IPC Share to always be active?

If not, how to disable is so it will not come back after a reboot.
I added a registry setting to remove "all administrative shares", now Im looking to remove IPC share.
The less shares the better.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For removing "Admin shares" automatically, use the registry setting below:(does not remove the IPC share)

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters

Value name: AutoShareServer
Value type: REG_DWORD
Value data: Default is 1, change it to 0

Most likley this wont be there, so you will have to create a new DWORD.
Hope this helps the people looking to remove there admin shares.

Thanks in Advance
