Windows XP Home Edition, and Windows XP Professional in a standalone or peer-to-peer network, defaults to the Simple File Sharing user interface, instead of the classic Security and Sharing tabs.

I have scripted NoSFS.bat to disable Simple File Sharing on Windows XP Professional.

The syntax for using NoSFS.bat is:

NoSFS ComputerName1 \[ComputerName2 ... ComputerNamen\]

where ComputerNameX is a Windows XP Professional computer name in your network.

NoSFS.bat contains:

@echo off
If \{%1\}
\{\} @echo Syntax: NoSFS ComputerName1 \[ComputerName2 ... ComputerNamen\]&goto :EOF
setlocal
:Next
if \{%1\}
\{\} endlocal&goto :EOF
set computer=%1
shift
set computer=%computer:"=%
set key="\\%computer%\HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa"
if /i "%computername%" EQU "%computer%" set key="HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa"
@echo reg add %key% /v forceguest /t REG_DWORD /d 00000000 /f
reg add %key% /v forceguest /t REG_DWORD /d 00000000 /f
@echo.
goto :Next
