Registering Services

[Guest]

The Server service disappeared form my computer. Is there a way I can
reregister this service?

Server is the Display name for LanmanServer (the Service name).

The Sharing tab is not visible if the Server service isn't running.

This will restore the Server service (lanmanserver) so it will be listed in
Services.msc.

Open Network Connections...
Start | Run | Type: ncpa.cpl | Click OK |
Right click Your Connection | Properties |General tab |
Install button | Highlight: Service | Add button |
Highlight: File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks | Click OK |
Close Network Connections

Server
[[Used for file and print sharing from your computer or Message Queuing. For
security purposes, you may disable this service if you do not require local
printers and files shared across your network. Connectivity, however, still
exists even on incoming shared network drives. Workstation needs to be
running to connect to another computer that has the files you are looking
for. Note: If you disable File and Print sharing, the Server Service may
disappear from the Services listing. Just enable File and Print sharing
again and the Server Service will return.]]

Wesley, you were right on the money. While I was do my annual cleaning (HD
wipe & reinstall everything along w/the latest NIS), I selected to disable
File & Print Sharing. I didn't realize I had a problem until I tried to view
the type of group (e.g., Administrator) from Computer Management each of my
accounts was a member of. Shared Folders was visible. I did notice after
running a Registry check that Lanmanserver did not exist. After I followed
your recommendation, everything returned to normal. I wanted to know why I
couldn't view the "Members of" tab from within Computer Management's Local
Users & Groups, so I checked the now-okay Server service dependencies tab.
The answer? Computer Browser depends on this service!

Thanks again.

btw, you're not a former STG are you?
