Sorry here is the link. Note that alone will not do much to improve
security. To prevent unwanted administrator access to a computer you need to
use strong passwords for administrator accounts [or no password if doing
such does not pose a threat for local logon]. Other things you can do is to
use the Windows Firewall to either block all access or allow specific access
[via exceptions/scope] for file and print sharing, disable file and print
sharing if not needed, or modify the user rights for access this computer
from the network and deny access this computer from the network [on XP Pro
via secpol.msc]. --- Steve

For NT 4.0 Workstation/W2K Pro/XP Pro, the change is:
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters
Name: AutoShareWks
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0
