Enable Disable File and Print Sharing in Regedit

[Guest]

Windows 9x had this registry trick. Is there one for XP?

Appearently the following doesn't work for XP.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network]
"NoFileSharing"=dword:00000000
"NoPrintSharing"=dword:00000000

Thanks, John

Hi,

I an not aware any way to do this with registry edits.

You might get something to work with snetcfg.exe...

If you want to use Snetcfg.exe to _enable_ File & Print Sharing (F&PS
already installed, but the checkbox is not checked), you will have to
uninstall F&PS first, and then install again (using snetcfg.exe for
both tasks). This will make the checkbox checked.

Also note that uninstalling F&PS will remove the server service.

More about snetcfg.exe and F&PS here:
