Those shares are used by a number of functions within Windows Server and
Windows clients. I wouldn't wanna mess with them and hide them, move
them, whatever.

Since those folks have access to the shares, I would investigate why
they have that sort of access in the first place - are they in security
groups they shouldn't be in? Tailor down their permission by removing
them from priviledged groups or customize security on both shares (test
that thoroughly!)

Cheers,
Florian
