Does anyone know how to do the following;

I want to make sure that WinMe will not detect all the printers on the network and make them available in the Printers dialog box.

Apparantly any file chares on the network will also come up automatically as well, how would I remove this?

Have you got the access rights to each resource set?

2 Things

#1 The option to share the printer needs to be turned off on the machines that you do not want to share printers.

#2 In order to turn off the network crawling open Explorer then open Folder options. Go to View and the First option under Files and Folders is &quot;Automatically Search for Shared Folders and Printers&quot;. Uncheck this and you should be good.

Place a $ in front of the share name also hides shares.
