If I go there and go to the "Advanced" tab, there is no "Use simple file sharing" box to uncheck. Any ideas why and what one can do in this situation?

Not with FAT32 since there´s no security tab. (funciona solo en NTFS, no con FAT32 ya que no hay solapa de seguridad) Thanks a lot!! it works only with NTFS filesystem.

On my LEGIT DELL OEM copy of XP at work, this newest update was forcing my system to connect to the internet on every boot up, I guess for some kind of authentication process. Since I have several automated PC's, that re-boot automaticly, the "PROXY AUTHENTICATION" (we need to have a valid user id and password to connect to the internet, I cannot automate this process) would sit there until I pressed the OK button. Since these PC's are application servers, running 24/7 and I schedule daily re-boots on some of them, this new authentication was very annoying. The above posted process seemed to work very nicely for me! Thanks! THANKS!
