Comment: I am wondering how to make sure on windows XP that I do not have file sharing enabled and that I do not have remote access enabled. Please let me know where to find these settings. Thanks.

Reply: (edit)thanks, but that does not help one bit. All I have under the sharing tab is a sentence that says, "If you understand the risk but still want to share the root of the drive, click here". And, when I click on that sentence, it does not show me any file sharing settings. Maybe I am missing something!!!

Reply: (edit)When you look in My Computer, is there a sharing hand under the drive icon? If not then sharing is not enabled and you have nothing to fear. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
