Removing the server service won't prevent you from doing any networking at all - it will, however, prevent your machine from providing SMB services to other machines on the network (file, print, etc), plus a few lesser issues involving the messenger service, browse lists etc.
The administrative shares, as the name implies, are designed primarily to allow an administrator of your machine (whether that be yourself or the network admins) to access your hard drives from the network. If your machine is stand-alone, there is no need for these shares to exist.

Can somebody explain what effect and/or use these shares are other than that they are for administrative purposes Joe (please be gentle first post)
