Could anyone provide me a solution as to why the network shares I create (compmgt.msc > Shared Folders > Shares) disappear and those that I stop sharing (administrative shares #$) are re-enabled after a reboot?

Every time I reboot I need to re-share and disable the administrative shares.

Have you tried to accomplish this through local group policy?

Not sure what you mean by this, but I've checked the Policy settings and everything seem to be at their respective settings. This is a clean installation of Vista, no tweaks or anything, UAC is turned off.

Create a DWORD type as AutoShareWks with a value of 0.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters 
Name: AutoShareWks
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0


This will disable Vista automatically sharing ADMIN shares upon restart. Any shares that were personally created will no longer be deleted.
