This is probally a basic question, But I am new to windows..

I have 3 WIN XP machines.

One of the users keeps turning on Printer Syaring.
My Macine then Auto Discovers this printer.

How do I stop auto Discovery of printers on the network?

Thank you in advance.

From Windows Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, View

Uncheck the first line, Automatically search for network folders and
printers.

Hi,


Go to control panel, click on folder options and remove
the checkmark from the line: Automatic search for network
folders and printers.




Hope this helps
