Unable to switch off "share this folder on the network"I have a PC and Laptop wirelessly connected to a broadband wireless router.
No problem with setting folders to be accessed from one machine to another. I now wish to switch off Sharing for a folder (My Documents) on my laptop and the command is greyed out (right-click properties of the folder, sharing tab). The "make this folder private" option is also greyed out. This option is also greyed out for all other folders. Can you help? Anthony wrote:

that option was (I think your using a workgroup) I think the home network wizard (in network places) has options to turn file sharing on/off Thanks for your help. This has at keast turned off the sharing.
