Jito463 Posted September 28, 2004 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
