Windows 10: IPC$ and ADMIN$ appear as remote shared folders - and Admin access.

1. I noticed in my Management console I have Share Name "IPC$" no folder path, and with description "Remote IPS". As well as I have another Share Name "ADMIN$" folder path "C:\\WINDOWS" and description 'Remote Admin.' I suspect that this may not be good, as it is my computer, I am not on a network. Can I just delete both of these?2. I also have several files on my computer that need "admin access" to view so I cannot see them???, but I am signed in as an admin. Again, it is my computer, and not on a network. Hoe do I resolve this?Both of these make me a little worried, but I am not profic

How to stop sharing folder for windows 10?

When I type "net share" under cmd, and find out a list of share name

C$ Default share

D$ Default share

IPC$ Remote IPC

ADMIN$ Remote Admin

I would like to know on how to stop the share status and disable Remote Admin & IPC

I would work with one PC not through network, how can I disable those remote setting?

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you very much for any suggestions (^v^)

 

C$, IPC$, and ADMIN$ Network Share Access (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard)

I'm trying to impliment some registry changes to allow elevated access to the $C, IPC$, and ADMIN$ shares for Nessus scanning purposes. I've implimented the following changes:

-HKLM\software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\

• EnableAccountTokenFilterPolicy 1
  
• LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy 1
  

-Winreg permissions

• HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\winreg
  
• Create a allow read all permission set for the winreg folder
  

-HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

• AutoShareServer 1
  
• AutoShareWks 1
  

I tested the changes in a lab environement and was able to good credentialed scan with the desired administrative privilieges. However, I do have some concerns before making the changes in the live environment, as the lab environment does not have end users attached to test if the changes will affect their access/normal use.

1. Do I need to disconnect the old drives that are inaccessible to the admin credentials or should I run the NetShareDel funtion on those shares?

2. Will disconnecting/deleting those shares have an impact to authenticated users active on the net?

3. Do I have to log out/restart the domain controller for those changes to take effect, or is there any other (less disruptive) method to have those shares regenerated with the desired access?

4. When the shares are regenerated after deletion/disconnection, will they still contain the same contents of the drive previously, just with adjusted permissions?

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

"New Share" option is missing on right click in local computer management\system tools\shared folders\ Shares

I want to add a folder that I created as a subfolder of my "Users\me" subfolder and add it to This PC-listed folders.

So I tried using computer management and went to the section: local computer management\system tools\shared folders\Shares.

Then I right-clicked on the empty space where the shares are listed:
C$ C:\ Default share

IPC$ Remote IPC

print$ C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers

Printer Drivers

ADMIN$ C:\WINDOWS Remote Admin

Users C:\Users

Expecting to see "add new share" or something equivalent but there seems to be no way of doing this because the new share option is missing.

Could you please let me know how to correct this on Windows 10 or how to do it by editing the registry?

Thanks
