| 522658 | 2007-02-04 20:27:00 | Howdy, I want to turn off simple file sharing in XP Home but when I go into Folder Options>View, I scroll down and there is no "Use simple file sharing" checkbox to untick. Any suggestions? |

| 522661 | 2007-02-04 20:41:00 | Sorry mate, you've gotta have XP Pro to do that :( XP Home is the "dumbed down" version. Next to no networking features (can't join domains etc). |

| 522662 | 2007-02-04 21:39:00 | Right, I see, thought I had read somewhere else that I could, but musta got confused. I have installed Vista, but just testing it at the mo, still want to keep XP Home on my other drive, so if I use Vista to alter the permissions on folders on the XP drive, will that screw them up from within XP? |

| 522664 | 2007-02-04 21:58:00 | Vista is OK, although I always have trouble with dual boots cos I have an IDE drive and an SATA drive and the bios always defaults to booting from the SATA and Vista installs its bootloaders on the IDE, unless I unplug the IDE but then it doesn't find the other OS so I can't boot it. | stevesumner (4849) | ||
| 522665 | 2007-02-04 22:38:00 | XP Home used to have an option to disable simple file sharing but it no longer does. I believe it still can be done via changing a registry settings but can't say I have had the need to find out what it is. Google would be a good start. | berryb (99) | ||
| 522666 | 2007-02-04 22:57:00 | Yes, I discovered via google that you can view the security tab in safe mode logged on as administrator, you can also use cacls command in dos when logged on to XP: www.microsoft.com or www.computerhope.com |
