Hi

Thanks for your reply

I've managed to work out how to do it. So if anyone else
was stuck on this/ or is interested then read on:

You need to create a .bat file using notepad with the
following typed in:

net share c$ /delete
net share admin$ /delete
pause

then save it as share.bat

put this file in the windows start up file and it should
work

Peace
