  Hello All,

     Some users on my domain have created shared folders on their local
systems and it's caused a big mess. Basically, I'd like to remove any
existing shared folders and keep them from adding any more in the future.
I've already hid the "security tab" with a GPO, but I would like to remove
the folders that have been created. Is there a setting in Group Policy for
this? Did I overlook it? Do I need a different ADM? BTW, my DC's are
Windows 2000, if that helps any. Thanks.
