Hi all,

Have one question and as an administrator it worries me.
1. I am using a windows XP pro OS.
2. I got to start>admin tools>services
3. on the left pane i see "services..local"
4. i right click and say "connect to another computer"
5. i supply the name of the remote computer in my LAN
6. i can see all the services which are running ........!!!!!!!!! though i
cannot start or stop any service ! phew ! well...just knowing which servives
are running does not pose any ind of threat ?

7. so how do i stop users from seeing services which are running on another
computer....????????

awaiting feedback eagerly.

thanks and regards
Manoj
