I have set up a wireless network. I'm using XP home.
Can I enable printer sharing but disable file sharing?

Click to expand...

Those aren't separate settings in XP. However, if you don't have any
shared disks or folders, no one will be able to access your files over
the network.

To see if you have shared disks or folders:

1. Right click My Computer.
2. Click Manage.
3. Double click Shared Folders in the left pane.
4. Double click Shares in the right pane.

For additional security, be sure to enable WEP encryption on your
wireless network.
