My previous post was related to XP Home Edition (subject line).

Sharing in XP Home.

Is there a way to edit the registry? I run XP Pro, but would like the
information to share with the co-tweakers.

I was refering to this thread - Simple File Sharing.

Is there a registry edit for tunring it off in WinXP Home?

I don't happen to be a moron. I thought that it was appropriate asking the
question since it was on the same topic and may give some help to me and
others on the thread.

My most gracious and humble apologies for not being "forum correct" - Uncle
Grumpy!!
