Hi Jim:


To turn of simple file sharing: open any folder. Go to tools->folder
option->View

go all the way down and uncheck the simple file sharing mode.
Note: i believe that turning off this function permanently is only
possible in xp pro.

Simple file sharing, from what I know, allows you to share files but
you cannot link an account with a passwrod and username, so that
anyone on you network can gain access to the share (not a good idea).
Turn it off and share a folder, but remmemeber to go into permession
and delete "everyone" and then add a user with certain privelge.
