I would like to stop our users from being able to share folders on thier Win2k Pro desktops, but I can't disable File and Printer Sharing.
I heard that there may be a registry key that you can limit permissions to prevent users from sharing folders, is this true? what is the Key?

I forgot this in the original post, I know normal users can't share folders by default, but I want to stop users in the PowerUsers group.
