dbota Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Recently I accidentally noticed that all 4 drives on my personal computer were being shared (C: 2 mirrored drives, F, G, H external drives). My login has admin rights, so thru drive properties Sharing, I disabled Sharing for each drive.Thru Network Connections/ Local Area Connection/ Properties/ General I also removed "File and Printer Sharing for MS Networks"(I noticed on the Advanced tab that "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet Connection was checked and grayed out so I was mysteriously unable to disable this...)Problem is everytime I reboot the computer, the drives show up being shared again although the "File and Printer Sharing for MS Networks" protocol does remain disabled so I have to disable each drive again.I have never chosen to share my drives, don't wish to and am concerned about the insecurity and my inability to permanently disabled the sharing.Can anyone tell me how to stop the sharing or what might be causing this?(ps: XP Pro SP3, Core Duo, 3 GB RAM, COMCAST Broadband, I use Zone Alarm Security Suite and its firewall. The windows firewall is disabled.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hb_Kai Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Are other PC's connected to the network?It doesn't matter if not because you're not sharing your drives with anyone which might also be why it's always unchecking itself after rebooting.
