Help removing shares
Hello. I used Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer and it pointed out that I
have shares set up for a few of my folders. (Windows XP Pro with SP2 installed) So, I went to Control PanelAdministrative ToolsComputer ManagementSystem ToolsShared FoldersShares. It says I have shares on ADMIN$, C$ and IPC$. How do I remove these shares? When I doubleclick on the shares, nothing happens. When I select the share and then go to Action on the toolbar, the only options are Refresh and Help. Same thing with right clicking on the share. Where is the "disable" or "stop" option? (I have logged in as both administrator and my regular login and both produce the same results. Any help appreciated. John |

Help removing shares
Interestingly, MS says there should be a "Disable" option in the right-click
menu, but it's not present on my computer (XP Pro, SP2) either. If you use the "Help" option in the r-click menu and look under "Shared Folders" you'll see how to use Explorer to disable sharing a folder. You'll also see why this may not be a good idea, depending on what you wish to accomplish. "John" wrote: Hello.

Hi John,
If you have "simple file sharing" turned on, this is normal. It is disabled under the advanced section on the view tab of Folder Options (WinXP Pro only, this is not an option on a WinXP Home system). -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "John" wrote in message ...
