"Sharing and Security" How do i disable this context

i want to remove the right click context "Sharing and Security" so i went to folder options and un-ticked "use simple file sharing" and that removed it
(that normally works)
but now its back and i dont know how to remove it

why did it come back and how can i remove it for good

thanks

 

Hi Sim, and welcome to the BBS!

Rename the following key and the context menu should disappear:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{f81e9010-6ea4-11ce-a7ff-00aa003ca9f6}\InProcServer32

Just put any letter in front of the name InProcServer32 to make it something such as ZInProcServer32 That way you can bring the function back when you need to. I suggest you place this key in your "Favorites" in the toolbar of Regedit so you'll have a record of your work for a memory aid.

 

If you just want to remove it from the context menu, go to this page, scroll down to, download and install "cnxtedit.zip." It will allow you to edit the right click menu without all the manual registry editing.

If you want to disable sharing and security completely, try Control Panel>Network Connections, right click on your network connection, go to Properties and uncheck "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks," click OK.

Lots of information on various file sharing configurations on this page which may provide other options.

 

i dont understand why i need to do all this stuff
normally just unticking "use simple file sharing" would remove it

 

One reason is because Windows XP has a NASTY habit of restarting things that we shutdown.

And all because Mr. Gates & Company THINK we need them.

Unless as mentioned we get into the Registry and edit things there. But if we DO NOT GET ALL KEYS INVOLVED that is useless too.

Also if we make ANY of this type of change that we want PERMANENT, it is good idea to shutwown and restart System Restore. Otherwise any and all changes we make will be UNDONE if we do need to use a Restore point.

ive sorted it

it turns out i had to disable the Computer Browser and Server process for it to work

before sp2 all i had to do with untick use simple filesharing

 

That is just what I mean MS is making to TOUGHER.

You may have it disabled now. But I would not be a bit surpeised to see it re-enabled if you do a System Restore.
