If the user of computer 1 is not a member of the local administrators group
he/she will not be able to re-enable File and Printer sharing. If the user
of computer 1 is a member of the local administrators group, he/she will be
able to undo any changes you make on computer 1.
You could prevent this through Group Policy in a domain environment. In a
workgroup environment with Simple File Sharing disabled, you can deny
network access to a user account on each of the other machines or simply not
create the user account on the other machines. Also, with XP Pro SP2 on the
other machines, you can use the Advanced tab on the Firewall to block
certain IP address.
