Simple question, I'm just looking for ideas,

I'd like to keep file and print sharing enabled on windows 2000, thus keeping the browse list in tact (long story). however, I would like to take away the right for users to share files out. I know this can be done, but what are the best ways? any suggestions? and I'm not sure if users will admin access to their machines or not.

thanx for all of your suggestions in advance

If users are logged on as administrator, a member of Power Users, or Server Operators they will be able to share files. Otherwise, a normal user account does not have the rights to make new shares. The sharing tab will simply not appear and the willnot be able to use Computer Management to manage shares either.

For this reason I don't believe that there are any other ways to disable this feature on an account.

If you are talking about sharing files level, then you should have NTFS...
when sharing these files, if you are the admin you can set the permission for these folders or files as you wish...

Good Luck
