GPO to disable simple file sharing in Windows XP

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (More info?)

Is there a place in a group policy that will allow me to turn off simple file
sharing on our Windows XP computers?
Any help would be appreciated. I can't find anything except a registry
change to do it.
Thanks.

Hi,

I have the newest ADM’s and there isn’t a setting for this. In fact
there isn’t a setting for everything listed in Folder Options. Eg. No
GPO to show file extensions.

However, if you know the registry path you can create your own ADM to
do this.

Cheers,

Lara
