I'm currently setting up a new 2008 R2 domain environment and I need to make sure all of my systems have this terrible little check box unchecked but I cannot for the life of me find a setting in the group policies that would uncheck the "Use Sharing Wizard" box under folder options (the equivalent of Simple File Sharing). The closest I found was: "Prevent users from sharing files within their profile", but this doesn't seem to work. Has anyone figured this one out yet?

(Ugh. As usual, you may need to copy/paste the link as the forum software correctly identifies nonstandard characters in the URL.)

Not sure why this is not taking effect for you.

I certainly hope it is not required that you must manually uncheck the boxes on the local machines.

Are you sure GP is refreshing on the local machines?

Uncheck the little bugger and click OK.
