The C$ share, as opposed to any other share, is only accessible by users in the Administrator group. It is neither visible nor accessible to any other users.
You may delete it freely with no dire consequences as far as I'm aware.

Actually, removing the $C share is fruitless as it will be automatically rebuilt the next time you boot windows.

So long as file and print sharing is enabled, it's supposed to be available. Disable or remove that and all shares disappear, including the automatic ones. As far as I know you can't undo this auto sharing of $C, but knowing windows like I do, I'm sure if someone searched hard enough, there has to be a registry hack that removes that perminently.  |

I *think* that disabling both the Server and Workstation service (possibly only the Server service) would eliminate the default share. But as has been said, it's not a visible share, and not typically anything you need to worry about. Or, in my terms of thinking, the potential benefit of doing it isn't worth the effort to figure out how....sort of like anything with Linux SORRY SORRY i had to |

Hymm I read in a newspaper recenlty that some Bug Reporting company says that Linux has more serious bugs than Windows lately.
Maybe because the Windows bugs get corrected all the time, and Linux bugs get fixed slower...
