I successfully upgraded my laptop from Windows XP Pro to Vista Ultimate and
have no problems with Vista. However, I am wondering how can I disable file and printer sharing. I went to files and folders' properties and saw functions to disable or able file/printer sharing but that function is disabled preventing me from selectiong disable option. I want to disable file and printer sharing the same way I did with Windows XP Pro. I am sole owner of laptop meaning I am administrator of its Vista yet Vista is blocking me from selecting disable option for file and printer sharing PLEASE HELP Thanks, Aharon |

Hi Aharon,
Are you using the Network and Sharing Center to do this? Go to Control Panel Network and Internet and click on Set up file sharing. Click the button next to Public folder sharing, select Turn off sharing and click Apply. Do the same for file sharing and printer sharing. Does this work for you? -- Greg Lindsay [MSFT] Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. "Aharon" wrote in message ...
