How to disable simple file sharing and how to set permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP

Note on this----- while it's true that you can't _disable_ simple file sharing in XP Home by going into Tools -> Folder Options -> View Tab (the box to clear simple file sharing is only in XP Pro, NOT in Xp Home)....

...you CAN set NTFS file/folder permissions using the file/folder Security tab in Safe Mode of XP Home.

Believe me, I've tried it.

But hey, do people really need to use that in XP Home?
Maybe they dont trust their own families...
