Turn Off Simple File Sharing on Windows XP Professional
To control permissions for individual users, you must turn off simple file sharing on the source machine.
Turning simple file sharing off does not turn off the Shared Documents feature. Use the simple file sharing UI,
located in the folder's properties, to configure share and file permissions.
For Windows XP Professional operating systems that are part of a workgroup, the simple file sharing UI is
turned on by default. Windows XP Professional operating systems that are part of a domain use only the classic
file sharing and security interface.

1
On the source machine, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Folder Options.

Click the View tab and deselect Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended).
Simple file sharing is turned off.
