Are you sure? With SFS on any Xp machine on my LAN I can NOT
get into Program Files or Windows no matter whether I'm
trying to login as an admin user that has already been set up
on that machine. I even rebooted to make sure but if I turn
SFS off I can now log into those machines & into Program
Files & Windows so in my mind SFS protects the nOObs from
damaging Program Files & Windows from across the LAN...
You are correct. :) MS must have "fixed" something. Now the
Sharing Options are greyed out when I try to share the Windows
folder or the Program Files folder. I can still share the
entire C:\ drive, however I can not get into either of those
two folders. So SFS is pretty safe.
BTW if SFS is used, you shouldn't have been given the option
to logon as administrator or any account other than Guest.
