Set Deny rights, but be careful with them. Otherwise you can still get prompted for creds on regular shares as well...

Thanks, you are right. Only the administrative shares are prompting for a username and password; all other shares are not.

Is there a way to disable the username/password dialog box when accessing a share that a user does not have access to. For example if I try logging into \\server1\c$ and I do not have access to this I currently get a prompt asking for a username and password. I want to disable this so the user just gets the access denied message.
