Printers And Faxes (WXP)

[jesuismaisee]

How the devil are you meant to remove "Printers and Faxes" from your shared folders? I'm not really happy that windows XP wishes to share your printers on "FULL ACCESS MODE" which means that people come along and add printers. :( I've tried searching a few places to find out how to fix this but haven't found any solutions.

Surely if you have User groups set up then people who authenticate with a server or local machine will not be able to add printers as this does not fit the profile of a User. I would check to see the policy settings for the Users concerned. WXP security is based on W2K, these users are not power users are they?

If you have the server resource kit installed then tun user manager and have a look at the settings for each of the User groups. I think the problem lies with the local group the Users are in.

Hope you get the problem solved...
