You seem to be having a hard time with this. Simply disable the

There
will be no need to look anywhere else or to disable anything

as

and it will not be possible to add file sharing as long as the
service remains disabled. End of story.

<Grin> We seem to have come full circle. This is exactly what
I suggested in my reply at the very beginning of this long thread,
yet the OP appears to have chosen to ignore my recommendation.




Didn't mean to ignore, but where is Server service located to
unckeck?

ms

In the Start Menu-> Run box enter: services.msc

John


Thanks.

I get the message "can't find services.msc" ??

Due to some of the comments, I should mention I am 76 with bad sleep
as
with lots of seniors, and computing problems are sometimes not easy
compared to a younger person.

ms


Do this:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type this command:
net stop server{Enter}


Thanks, I want to see if the data in my reply to John John has some
result.

ms

You could have saved yourself the trouble of all this typing in
your reply to John John. The command I recommended would
have told you immediately whether the "Server" service is installed,
active or not available. It's these two simple steps:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type this command:
net stop server{Enter}


Thanks, results:

C:\>net stop server
The Server service is not started.

In this case "not started" appears to mean not active/not available?
Which explains some of the other results?

ms
