Connected computers warning when you shut down XP Pro

When you are sharing files from one computer (not a file server, this is a 3
computer share) and that computer is going to shut down you used to get a
warning that someone had files open and do you want to continue to shut down.
It looks like in XP Pro that warning is no longer there. Is there a setting
to make it give you that option?

Thanks,
Harvey

Not that I know of. Even the server versions don't do this.

You can type
NET SESSIONS
or
NET FILES

at a cmd prompt to tell you who's on.

Was just thinking, a safe shutdown applet might be a little coding project,
I often shutdown servers thinking they're clear of users, only to hear a yell
of protest from the office :(
