Hi,

I've done something that clearly MS didn't think I'd try and I could
need some help please.

I setup some network shares (on WinXP SP2 Home) on subdirectories of a
DVD I had in the machine at the time. The DVD (ie. the silver shiny
thing, not the drive itself) has obviously since been removed and I now
can't delete the shares!

I don't actually remember now what DVD I was sharing and with an amazing
degree of poor forethought I didn't call the shares anything even
vaguely useful to remind me. I've tried putting any old DVD back in the
drive but I can't I can't navigate to the specific subdirectories to
remove the shares.

I've tried to look at Shares in the Manage option off the My Computer
icon and this very helpfully tells me what shares are there but only
gives the options to "Refresh" or "Help" when I right-click on the ones
I want to remove (and "Help" doesn't!).

I assume at this point I need a registry hack to now remove these shares
but is it as simple as just deleting the offending entries from Shares
in the lanmanserver branch of Services?

Many thanks, David.
