    Access to Sharing of drives is given from the Network
    properties in a system that is already on a network.
    Sharing can totally be disabled, again from the Network
    properties in a system that is already on a network.
    Network properties can be locked from the registry or
    Network's Control Panel File can be deleted / renamed to
    restrict the change in network properties. But our users
    are too smart, if we restrict sharing, they find new
    concepts/ideas to force us to open sharing and if sharing
    is allowed, whole computer is found to be full shared
    instead of a folder for emergency usage. The user has been
    educated hundreds of times that in case of emergency only
    one folder on the system is to be shared and that too in
    READ ONLY Mode. But......
    Restricted sharing can be achieved in the Windows 2000
    systems by creating users with restricted rights. Infact,
    In Windows 2000, the user can totally be restricted to
    his / her area of working only.
    The Problem: Can the same (Restricted Sharing) be done
    with Windows 98 through registry/external software??
