That is the administrative hidden share. If they are local administrators on
the computer that they are accessing then this is normal access for a local
administrator. If the user does not need to be local administrator then
remove them from the group. You can disable the hidden shares [see the link
below] but that will that will not really do anything to restrict a
knowledgeable administrator that has network sharing access to the computer.
IPC$ is needed for file and print sharing. --- Steve
