I Can't Turn Sharing OffGreetings,
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 On Fri, 16 Jan 2009 14:06:25 -0700, "Shane Goodman"
