My shared folders on my xp machine keep loosing connection. Seems to
be over night. I do not turn the system off but in the morning my
shared folders are no longer shared and can not be accessed. I have to
uninstall "file and print sharing", re-install, the re-boot. I added a
D-Word in the registry to eliminate the autodisconnect but that does
not work. Also shred printers on another work station are acting the
same way. Please help. I cannot do this everyday

The first and easiest step is to see if Power Management is being used
on the network cards. Open Device Manager from the Control Panel System
applet and find the entry for your network adapter. Right-click on it
to get its Properties. Click on the Power Management tab and uncheck
"Allow Windows to turn off this device when not in use". Do this on all
machines.
