Where is this simple per's option loacted ?

OS= Windows Xp Home ed.

[dozer]

windows explorer -> tools -> folder options -> view -> "use simple file sharing (recommended)" ... untick it

mmc is what you maybe talking about

[directhex]

i don't think you can get to some of the msc plugins on xp home, as i said.

mmc is what you maybe talking about

"use simple file sharing (recommended)" isn't in the list.
&
mmc command just brings up a blank console root box.

This is what im after

[dozer]

try this, but not sure if home supports it

Click on Start
Then Run
Type MMC and hit enter
Click CONSOLE then ADD/REMOVE SNAP IN
Click ADD then LOCAL USERS AND GROUPS
Click ADD then FINISH
Then just keep click OK or CLOSE until your back to the first window you saw when you typed MMC and you can play around from there.

Cheers dozer, it was so close! , - but alass, when i clicked finish, damn windows poped up a box saying this version of windows operating system is not allowed to access this etc etc.. Really thought that we'd cracked it when i saw local users & groups in the add list, but it was not to be lol I should of got pro.. damn me and my money saving ways Anyway, was still a brill idea dozer.

This is what makes the hexus forums the best.

Hey all,

Below quote by myth, was taked from the explorer.exe thread.
I didn't want to impact on 47th ronin's thread, so thought should ask in seperate thread.



My question is simply this, wow ! how do you manage to get a full fresh reload of windows in just 7 minutes ?

Cheers.

if you can load the original installation files (the i386 folder from a cd) to a formatted hard disk, you can boot an msdos disk and run setup from there

otherwise, you're stuffed

If doing it via DOS, you'll need to run "winnt.exe" IIRC, not the standard "setup.exe" as you might expect.

Dont know if it has been mentioned but:

http://www.msfn.org is a good place to start for Unattended windows, and google for nLite
