How To Enable / Disable File Sharing in Windows XP

Steps
1. Open My Computer from the Start Menu or Windows XP Desktop. A new My Computer window will appear.
2. Open the Tools menu and choose the "Folder Options..." option from this menu. A new Folder Options window will appear.

How To Edit the System Registry
Quick access to programs in control panel
Some Control Panel applets are pretty mysterious and you're unlikely to call on them often, if at all. For example, the Java Plug-in control, which makes an appearance in the Control Panel if you install any version of the Java Runtime Engine, is something most of us never need to touch.Other applets, though, are so valuable you'll want to make them as easy to get at as possible. In last month's column, I showed you how to create shortcuts to Control Panel applets such as Add Or Remove Programs by dragging them onto your Quick Launch bar. That gives you single-click access to your favorite applets.
If you have half a dozen Control Panel favorites, instead of cluttering up your Quick Launch bar you can always create a custom Control Panel folder which you can access either by the Start Menu or via the Quick Launch bar. This works much like the Display As Menu option described above, but in this case you get to pick and choose which applets appear in the menu (see the section Roll your own Control Panel).
Want to see the Control Panel in My Computer? You can add it via the Folder Options dialog (open any folder, choose Folder Options from the Tools Menu, click the View tab and select the option).

Windows 7 pricing is potentially an problem to Windows 7 acceptance for some users, though in just about every other aspect the operating system is beating Vista, according to a Dell marketing executive.
Warde continued. "In tough economic times, I think it's naive to believe that you can increase your prices on average and then still see a tough swell than if you held prices flat or even lowered them. I can tell you that the licensing tiers at retail are more expensive than they were for Vista."
In the business market, Windows 7 Professional is expected to be more expensive than Windows Vista Business, the version that Professional is replacing, he said.
Some schools and smaller businesses may not be early adopters due to price. "Schools and government agencies may not be able to afford (the additional cost). Some of the smaller businesses may not be able to enjoy the software as soon as they'd like," Ward said.
Pricing aside, Ward said momentum behind Windows 7 is big compared with Vista. "When Vista came out we didn't have the motivation to do the types of services that we're doing now. We didn't have the clear customer demand for such services," he said. "We do have a visible number of customers, large and small, who are actually waiting for Windows 7 and who have already put plans in place to target the transition to Windows 7, they're asking Dell for help. That demand and this opportunity is stronger than it has been in the past," Ward said.
And Dell is already getting its service organization in gear for Windows 7. "Our professional service organization is beginning to structure service offerings specifically designed to help customers migrate their images, their applications, and their management infrastructure, security capabilities and so forth."
More than half of Dell's business customers are still using Windows XP and these customers will eventually have to upgrade, according to Ward. "XP cannot live forever," he said.
To help users migrate from XP to Windows 7, Dell supports the upcoming operating system's XP mode. "It's one of the things that Microsoft is doing that we think is helpful. Putting an instance of XP virtual machine in the higher end SKUs (models). This is another alternative for compatibility. We'll fully support that in our product and consulting services." he said.
Driver readiness is good, with some exceptions. "Driver readiness--it looks pretty healthy compared to the past. (There are) some things that haven't been worked out. The WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Lab) drivers for AMT VPRO is a little behind," he said, referring to Intel's Active Management Technology, which allows remote access to PCs for security, maintenance, and management.

STUCK WITH TASK MANAGER
Q. Is there any way I can get rid of Windows Task Manager? The only way to remove it seems to be by buying some sort of membership, which it keeps offering to me.
A. There isn’t a way to get rid of Windows Task Manager, and it shouldn’t be removed regardless of what’s happening on your computer. It’s a crucial part of the Windows operating system. It helps Windows multi-manage whatever programs you have open, lets you close stalled programs if need be, lets you keep track of multiple user accounts, lets you monitor CPU usage to see how your system resources are being utilized and much more.
The fact that it’s giving you trouble, and that you were asked to purchase a membership to remove the item, hints that you might be infected with a virus.
In this case, the virus is disguising itself as your Task Manager and indirectly asking you to alter your Windows setup, most likely so that your system defenses will be lowered and it can cause additional problems.
I suggest you update your anti-virus definitions, perform a full system scan and delete whatever turns up.
