How Do You Stop Folder Permissions Being Granted

In our office the computers are set up to give read permissions to my local drives on entering Windows (NT 4.0). I have Administrator access but cannot find a way to disable this. Instead I have to stop sharing each time I boot into Windows. Can anyone help me?:frown:
 
Those are administrative shares.

They are hidden and can only be accessed by the Administrator.

To disable administrative shares, you need to edit the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

Double click on AutoShareServer and set it to 0 to disable it for a server.
Double click on AutoShareWks and set it to 0 to disable it for a workstation.
If the entries are not present, Add Value of type REG_DWORD. The Range is 0 (disable) or 1 (enable - the default).
