We need to prevent domain users in a windows 2003 domain currently from creating a network file share. We still want the ability to create a printer share. We have done this before in Windows XP, but do not seem to find a way with Windows 7 Enterprise. Is there any way using either a script, group policy, or a custom reg hack. We need the file & print sharing in the TCP stack, so that is out. We do not just want to stop a user from creating a share in the profile either; we want to prevent a use from creating a share from any location of the hard drive. If it cannot be done, I would be happy to read any other method that would give the same results. Thank you for taking the time to read my question.Drew

Can you give me some reason why I was able to do it in XP and not Windows 7.Drew
