I'm trying to disable the simplified file sharing option.

When i access my folder option using the documented steps:

1-Click Start, and then click My Computer.
2- On the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then
click the View tab.
3- In the Advanced Settings section, clear the Use simple
file sharing (Recommended) check box.
Click OK.

The Advanced Setting Section on my XP doesn't display the
option "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)"

Is there a solution to make that option appear again in
my advanced setting ?

Thanks!
 
Your drive must be formatted NTFS in order to have the
Simple File Sharing option.
