<div align="justify"><p><b>File and Printer Sharing</b>
</p><p>To share resources across the network, you will need to enable the 'File and Printer sharing' option. If you do not intend to share any folders or printers from your computer, you can uninstall the same for Microsoft Networks. To do this, go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network and click on 'File and Print Sharing'. Uncheck both the 'Give access to files' and 'Give access to printer' options. You will have to restart your computer for the changes to take place. Now no one will be able to access any files on your machine, as your computer will not appear on the network. You will, however, be able to access files and folders on other computers on the network as long as Client for Microsoft Networks is installed.
</p><p>To enable file and printer sharing, in Windows 2000/XP, go to Control Panel > Network Connections > Local Area Network click on Properties. This will pop up a window, where you can change all the network settings. Here select the 'File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks' option. Similarly deselect it to turn off sharing. You can still use shared folders or devices such as drives and printers on other network machines.
