Tutorial: How to turn off Win10/Win8.1/Win7 administrative share

By default, Windows creates some hidden shared folders with a dollar "$" mark at the end of the name. These hidden shares cannot be viewed when the user is on the network node of the File Explorer or using a command to view the network share. This situation exists in XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 to allow system administrators, programs, and related services to manage the network environment.
Windows defaults to the following hidden administrative share:
• Root partition or volume
• System root
• FAX$Share
• IPC$Share
• PRINT$ Sharing
The opening of these shares allows any user with administrative access to your computer or Active Directory domain (connected) to enter any partition without having to actively share files because he has taken Got your account credentials. In Windows NT-based systems (XP, Vista, Win7, Win8/Win8.1, and Win10, etc.), all partitions are open to administrators through the Manage Shares feature. Therefore, this mechanism has security risks.
