disable automatic search for shared printers
Hi,
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. On Win XP there was a tick box under folder options view tab to enable/disable automatic searching for network folders and printers. I cannot find the equivalent for this in Vista Business or Vista Ultimate. Does anyone know how to do this in Vista?

Hello Jack
From your question I assume that you believe it is good practice to allow all users access to all shared printers! Well, if that is your view, I have to say that in our environment (SBS2003 with Vista business clients) I do not believe that to be good practice or even desirable. Nonetheless, unless you or somebody else can answer my question that is what we are stuck with.

In Windows 7 at least you can restrict printing by using the properties -
security tab. You could create a group of permitted users and enable printing only for that group for instance. Or enable on a name by name basis. Michael "tricky300" wrote in message ...
