Check their group membership. They must be at least power users?? If so change
them to regular users if at all possible. Also do their computers really need to
be offering shares in the first place? If the answer is no and you do not need
to manage their Computers Remotely then uninstall file and print sharing on them
[you could also disable server service via Group Policy for large numbers of
computers] or possibly change the user right assignment to "access this computer
from the network" to be only administrators if regular users have no business
accessing those computers. --- Steve
