T D Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Registry and google are your friends.Open folder options in Windows explorer>tools>folder options>view and right at the bootom, there's a checkbox for enable or disabling simple file sharing.Hope this helped And if you want it back unattendedly, use a tool like Regmon or Regshot to find which keys are changed.

chickenfeed Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 According to this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;304040Simple File Sharing is always turned on in Windows XP Home Edition-based computers. By default, the Simple File Sharing UI is turned on in Windows XP Professional-based computers that are joined to a workgroup. Windows XP Professional-based computers that are joined to a domain use only the classic file sharing and security interface.My Windows XP home edition isn't supposed to be able to disable simple file sharing And according to this security article (http://labmice.techtarget.com/articles/winxpsecuritychecklist.htm) I'm just going to make a password for the guest account instead. Thank you for taking the time to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
