I would like to disable the ability of rouge users browsing to my desktop. Is there a way to stop this? I have turned off the Server service and the desktop service. Will this accomplish my goal? Any issues with this approach?

TIA

Well, it sounds like your security is not that tight. Normal users shouldn't be able to do what you are describing!

Since you have Win2K, then your security settings are wrong. Did you make an open share on your system that allows Everyone Full Control? If so, remove it!

Lock down your workstation to prevent those who should not be connecting to it FROM connecting to it.
