Hello,
I am wondering if anyone knows how to removed the "printers" folder from displaying itself when a user looks at the shared folders on a machine. For example: On "Computer A", I have a shared folder called "utilities". i use this folder from anywhere on site, in case I need some software and Im in another building. The annoying part is, if I click start>Run, and type \\Computer A, It comes up with "utilities", and "printers". I am allowing other users to use this share for convenience, biut would like to remove the printers folder. I currently have 0 shared printers, and have no intentions of sharing any. If anyone knows how to do this, I would greatly appreciate a little guidance. Thanks in advance
-Dennis
