If i reboot my computer, windows sets all my drives as fully shared, allowing anyone on the network full control, unless I manually change the settings in My computer. Using win2k SP4. Anyone have any idea WTF is going on?

Thanks.

Thank you so much.

I just can't believe this. Does windows share all your drives by default? This is insane.

It's called an administrative share and *only* local administrators setup on *your* computer can access them.

Nope. My brother was going through all my files on his computer.

Well then you must have had both computers with the same administrative/user accounts or someone has changed the permissions on the drives.

At this point I can only tell you what how it works on a default install simply because I don't know exactly how you have your systems configured.
