How to disable file/folder sharing?

I want to disable file/folder sharing, Thought it was done in TweakuI,
but I don't see it.

I searched, came up with data, says:
------
1. First, right click on "My Network Places" and select "Properties".
My Network Places/Properties
2. Next, find your Network Card (probably labeled "Local Area
Connection" or the name of the type of Ethernet adapter you have
installed), right click on it, and select "Properties".
Local Area Connection/Properties
"Local Area Connection/Properties"
-----

I don't have "My Network Places" to start this procedure.

Not in My Computer. Also looked in Control Panel, Network Connections
there either New Connection, or my existing DUN connection, in either
case, Properties does not do the above. Internet Options didn't help
either.

Two issues:
Disable the sharing.

Find My Network Places

Advice?

You could stop the "Server" service.

Just unbind 'File and Printer Sharing' for the network connection but
actually it sounds like you may have none to worry about.

Yes, that's what I want to do, but where to find it?

BTW, my computer clock is acting strange, yesterday it advanced one day, so
I posted a second message. Today it did not advance from yesterday. If the
battery is going bad, I am used to loosing time, not this behavior.

Thanks.

Is this what you mentioned?
----
Windows 2000 IP Configuration

Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : p2
Primary DNS Suffix . . . . . . . :

Don't understand this comment: "Sounds like you have no connections", I am
posting with the same computer online, DUN.

I looked in Tweakui to see if in earlier "cleanup", I had disabled the
Network Places icon, but no. Is there a way to get that back?

I found that before in Tweakui, I had removed the
My Network Places icon, so replaced it.

But rightclick does not show the folder sharing options in my OP.

As you said above, that's the reason. I will try a new account, assume
fixing this windows option for file/folder sharing is in addition to
cautious browsing patterns? I certainly never had a problem with this
sharing in the past.

Go to "Control Panel", "Network and Dial-up Connections", click "Advanced",
then "Advanced Settings" and see if "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft
Networks" is checked. If so, uncheck it.

This simply means that sc.exe is not available on your system.
I now realise that it comes with the Windows Resource Kit.
In such cases Google is your friend: In its search box you type
something like
download "sc.exe"
and hey presto! it spits out lots of sites such as this one:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/reskit/win2000/sc.zip
Download the file, unzip it, then place it into the c:\WinNT folder.
You can also download a copy from my own site (but only
for a limited time):

Ctrl+C will work if you first mark the text. Your problem was
probably that you could not paste the command into your
Command Prompt. Here is how it's done:
- Start a Command Prompt.
- Press Alt+Space Bar
- Press E, then P

Thanks for the help and that file, it got an answer:
---
C:\>sc config server start= disabled
[SC] OpenService FAILED 1060:

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

Comment?

I am finding that CTRL+C to copy a DOS window screen is sensitive, you
have to highlight not only the text, but extend the highlight to the
right edge of the screen.

BTW, I got no answer to my Repost- Popup during Copy/Move post here or on
the very active XP ng. Is the registry key involved really unknown?

We appear to get some contradictory results. You previously
reported this:
net stop server
The Server service is not started
This implies that the "Server" service exists but is not started.

Now you report this:
sc config server start= disabled
OpenService FAILED 1060:
The specified service does not exist as an installed service.
This implies that the "Server" service does not exist.

We obviously cannot have it both ways. I suspect some
typographical errors or some error in reporting. To resolve
the issue, do this:
1. Download this batch file and store it as c:\ms.bat:
http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/1216903_oxyuu/ms.bat
2. Click Start / Run / c:\ms.bat{OK}
3. Copy and paste the contents of the screen into your reply.
Please note that the command sc.exe (which you downloaded
before) MUST be located in c:\Windows or in c:\Windows\System32.

I have been lurking here as I think it is quite illuminating - I also admire
your tenacity. Therefore I have learnt a great deal but I have had to downlaod
the SC.exe and that was instantly wiped out, I think by spywaredetector. I still
have the file sitting in my download folder and I see it is only 4kb - have I
got the wrong file - I am not worried as I have no end of protection. If your
sc.exe is not 4kb, I hsall have to look for another version

My version of sc.exe is 31,323 bytes in size. You can
still get it from here: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/reskit/win2000/sc.zip

I downloaded it from your site yesterday, it worked fine. But looking at
the above, my file size is 31,232 bytes ??

Can you run a checksum on your file and post it, so I can compare?

I must have finally run into the MS requirement that you must use IE to
download from MS. I use Firefox, got "page not found", ran my old default
IE, same result.

ms

I had sc in Winnit as you mentioned before, just moved it to System32.

Ran the bat file:
-----
Ati HotKey Poller

The command completed successfully.


Command=sc config server start= disabled
[SC] OpenService FAILED 1060:

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.


Command=net share

If the Server service is not installed, what is a likely reason? The OS was
installed by the tech that built my computer, he knew it would only be a
home machine on dialup, if that is a clue.
