Talldog9 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 if you don't need it, definitely disable it. You will be closing a security hole. The internet - Where men are men, women are men and children are FBI agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humpty Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 As I don't use networking I actually uninstall file and printer sharing along with QOS from network properties. After doing this there is no "Workstation" showing in services. I don't advocate anyone doing this as I do keep ghost images as backups and it's just a part of my getting rid of anything XP related that I think I don't want or need.
