Unable to turn off password protected sharing

Everytime I try to turn off the password protected sharing via the Network and Sharing center it basically ignores my request and leaves it as 'on' permanently. I have no idea how to change it, I used to edit the local security policy in WinXP to allow sharing (I attended large LAN's) and did a few things in the Vista one but feel I may have enabled one thing that is preventing me from disabling this password protected sharing.

Help would be much appreciated.

Before anyone asks i've tried doing it in both public and private network mode

Hm, nevermind.

For future reference if anyone wants to know how this was solved if you go to

Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment -> Access this computer from the network

set the value to whatever user you need, I just put 'everyone'.

For some reason it was blank for me, I have no idea why.
