How can I disable 'Simple File Sharing' in Windows?

[Steve]

Hello all;

I am encountering some uninstall problems that appear to be caused by Windows default 'Use Simple File Sharing' option (that is turned on in all Windows 2000 and XP installs by default).

I am wondering if anyone has any experience with how to turn off Windows 'Simple File Sharing' mode while performing an IA install?

Thanks in advance

Steve

A quick search in Google gives this result:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Lsa
Look for the value ForceGuest. 0 turns off Simple File Sharing, 1 turns it on.

I have not verified this myself...

Thanks very much Martin.

I'll give this a try and post my results.
