Striker___ Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Is it possible to disable simple file sharing on windows xp home?
pthomas Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Heck ya!Open an explorer window. Go to tools -> folder options -> view -> scroll down the advanced settings and uncheck the use simple file sharing box.Paul
Jito463 Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 pthomas:That only works in XP Pro. XP Home has no option to disable simple file sharing. Most home users wouldn't have a need for advanced file permisions through the network, so they do not get that option.
pthomas Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Well hang on then, let me dig up the registry tweak for it....Paul
pthomas Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Here you go:;Do not use Simple File Sharing[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]"forceguest"=dword:00000000Either put that in a reg file or just change the value using regedit from 1 to 0.enjoy,Paul
