The File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft
Networks component allows computers on a network to access resources on
other computers using a Microsoft network. This component is installed and
enabled by default. It is enabled per connection using TCP/IP and is
necessary to share local folders.
The File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft
Networks component is the equivalent of the Server service in Windows NT
4.0.

Noteswww.tartoos.com
In Windows XP Professional, the Everyone
group no longer includes Anonymous Logon.
You can set file and folder permissions
only on drives formatted to use NTFS.
To change permissions you must be the
owner, or have been granted permission to do so by the owner.
Groups or users granted Full Control
for a folder can delete files and subfolders within that folder regardless
of the permissions protecting the files and subfolders.
If the check boxes under Permissions
for user or group are shaded or if the Remove button is
unavailable, then the file or folder has inherited permissions from the
parent folder.
When adding a new user or group, by
default, this user or group will have Read & Execute, List Folder
Contents, and Read permissions.
