If the Server service isn't showing in the list it means that File and Printer Sharing is not installed, none of your connections are bound to it. John

The command I recommended would have told you immediately whether the "Server" service is installed, active or not available. It's these two simple steps: - Click Start / Run / cmd {OK} - Type this command: net stop server{Enter}

It also means that the "server" service could be started by some agent, without you knowing about it. To disable it, do this: - Click Start / Run / cmd {OK} - Type this command: sc config server start= disabled Be careful with the spaces in this command - some of them are very important!

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 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.

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

If this concerns you, download the MS version. And the MS site I gave you is most definitely correct!

You can download the modified version of ms.bat if you require a final confirmation. I can now say with confidence that file/folder sharing is disabled on your machine. Since this was your aim all along, we should be able to put this issue to rest.
