Do you like this story?
For those of you who do not have a home network going you should disable file and printer sharing. There’s no reason to have this feature turned on. Do the following steps to disable it.
(You will require your windows 95/98 CD for this)
• Click on Start
• Scroll up to Settings
• Click on Control Panel
This will bring you into your Control Panel. You will see a variety of icons the one you are looking for will be the icon that says (Network) and it looks like this.
Once you have found the icon double click on it. You will then receive a screen that looks like this.
To turn off the file and printer sharing you will need to click on the button that says (File and Print Sharing).
After clicking on that a box will open:
Uncheck both of these then click okay.
You must then click (OK) again and this will return you to the Control Panel.
At this point will be prompted for you Windows CD. Simply insert it and click OK.
Sometimes you will receive a message that says “The file being copied is older than the existing file ..etc.etc. Do you wish to keep your existing file?”
You should click NO.
When the process is completely done your system will ask you if you wish to reboot. Click on Yes. Once your system has rebooted you can come back to the Network Screen and check to make sure the “File and Print Sharing” has been disabled.
