I Can't Turn Sharing Off
Greetings,
I have a folder which is being shared: c:\Documents and Settings\Shane I want to turn sharing off for this folder, but when I go to the Sharing tab in properties, the "Share this folder on the network" box is dimmed, so I can't clear it. Why would this check box be dimmed? How can I make it not dimmed, so I can clear it? Thanks, Shane. Windows XP Home SP3 |

Try unsharing it at a command prompt using this command:
net share shane /delete This seemed to work. My "Shane" folder is no longer shared, although the options in the Sharing tab are dimmed, which is weird. Thanks, Shane. Windows XP Home SP3 |
