Disable Share Creating

Does anyone know how to stop users from creating local shares on
workstations withuot removing the File and Print from Netowrk Configuration?
I was hoping that there was a GPO that could do it as I have roughly 1500
PC's that I need to restrict but I do not see any. As well, users have
Power User right as they cannot run certain software without it.
I need the File and Print because without it, I cannot remotely manage the
units which is a major issue.

Any help or ideas are appreciated.

Thanks!
Geoff
 
Hello Geoff,

This is all I could find on this, it has not been verified:

Set the permissions on these registry keys to prevent the
sharing option for Power Users. Admin shares should still be available. Test
thoroughly before rolling out the change via a Registry Permission GPO.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{f81e9010-6ea4-11ce-a7ff-00aa003ca9f6}

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{40dd6e20-7c17-11ce-a804-00aa003ca9f6}.
