NO Use Simple File Sharing checkbox.
Even booting into Safe Mode, the Use Simple File Sharing checkbox is not there.
How can I disable Simple File Sharing (so that I can see the security tab in file/folder properties) if there is no Use Simple File Sharing checkbox in Folder Options?
thanks
If I recall correctly, this is one of those settings that is only available on XP Professional. It seems to be a mere GUI issue though, according to this http://www.jsifaq.com/SF/Tips/Tip.aspx?id=7286 url. The link before contains a small script to set the right settings in the registry, even though the GUI options lack. And I don't want to play the role of moderator here, since I'm not one of them, but you might try another section for questions like these, unless you wanted to program something that toggled the setting, then you might try to adjust your phrasing :)
Hope it helps!
Regards :)
Run the following command to disable "Simple File Sharing (Recommended)" under Explorer Folder Options.
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa /v forceguest /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Hope this helps.
