XP Home comes ONLY with Smple File Sharing (that's why it can't be turned
off).
 
Two computer network: one XP HOME, other is Win2K Pro. On the X
machine, I'm unable to turn on Printer and File Sharing for any folde
unless the account is "Administrator". If using a Limited account, th
"Share this folder on the network" box is greyed out and therefor
can't be enabled. The rest of the network functions work fine with
Limited account. That is, the two machines on the network can see eac
other in My Network Places and View Workgroup Computers; the XP mcahin
can see and access folders on Win2K; The Win2K machine can see an ope
the SharedDocs folder and Printers folder on the XP machine. I've bee
advised to turn off "Simple File Sharing", but XP HOME doesn't seem t
have the option for turning it off.
Thoughts?
Paul
