Why can't turn off password protected sharing

Why can't turn off password protected sharing?  I use a Vista SP2 64-bit computer.  When I try to turn it off, I uncheck the button but when I click on the app it changes again to on.  I googled this question and tried many solutions, but so far nothing has worked.

I am connected to a home network.

I tried to delete the guest account, enabled the guest account and set up a password for the guest account, which none helped.  I am alo tried to change the IPsec to the manual.  Finally, what makes the work was when I got to a page that seized me add an Everyone permissions. I don't remember how I arrived at this page, but after that I added the new authorization and returned to the page network and sharing, password protected sharing was turned off.

Thank you for your help.

  • Message error "parameter is Incorrect" when powering down wide network of password protected sharing

    In the network and sharing Center, when I click on the arrow to option sharing protected by password, select turn off password protected sharing and click on apply, I get an error message saying "the parameter is Incorrect."  In fact, I would keep the Division password protected, but my son is trying to use a printer that is hard, connected to my computer via the wireless network and enter my user name and password.  It also has Vista.  I check the box saying to remember the password on her computer, but it does not work. Whenever he stops his laptop computer and restarts, then try to print, enter my user name and password again!  I need to get Vista to work on one of these computers!

    Hello anderfam,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forum.

    (1) make sure that the file and printer sharing is enabled.
    (2) If you are using a computer connected to a "working group", click on the arrow next to password protected sharing to expand this section.  Check if password protected sharing is enabled or disabled.

    If the password sharing is enabled, only people with a user account and password for this computer will be able to access your printer. Disable this option if you want anyone on the network can access the printer you share unless you give then a user account and password.

    Printer sharing:
    ------------------

    To share the printer, configure the printer as a shared printer on the server or the host (the computer connected to the printer).
    Make sure that you install the printer driver on each client or the system remote (computers other than the server).
    It is preferable to obtain the most recent driver of your Web site.
    Also check that the printer is compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista.

    If Windows XP Professional Edition is the host:

    1. open the Printers window.
    2. click the right button on your printer list, and then select "Sharing" in the menu that appears.
    3. Select 'Share this printer', type a share name for the printer and click on 'OK '. Take note of this name as it will be used later.

    When Windows Vista is the client:
    Install the printer driver
    Use a driver downloaded from the manufacturer's site to install the printer
     
    1. If you use the downloaded driver, double-click the downloaded file, then click on 'run '. The file will then be extracted and start the driver installation.
    2 follow the prompts and continue with the installation until you reach the Setup completed screen appears.
    3. on this screen, check the "Select" printer port box, and then click on the manual button 'Selection '.
    4. Select "" LPT1: port local printer ' and click on 'OK', then click 'Finish'. "
    5. in the Printers window, right-click the printer icon and select 'Properties' (access to the Printers window)
    6. click on the tab "Ports", and then click 'Add Port '.
    7. Select "Local Port" and click "new port" button.
    8. Enter the name of the port using the XP computer name and the name of the printer in the \\ComputerName\PrinterName form and then click 'OK '. Close the Port name window.
    9. click on 'Close' in the Printer Ports window.
    10. the new port poster now as being selected. Click "close".
    11. click on "Install driver" If the following window appears. You are now ready to print.

    Another thing is to make sure that if the firewall windows is that there is an exception specified for sharing files and printing.
    Make sure that all the computers are on the same workgroup. By default, XP machines are set to "MSHOME" while Vista machines are set to "WORKGROUP". They should both say WORKGROUP.

    If please reply back and let us know if these measures have helped to solve your problem or if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help you.

  • Cannot turn off or disable password protected sharing the network and sharing Center

    I'm trying to turn some pretty simple sharing of files between our windows PC (two portable minicomputers running under XP, a desk and a laptop running vista). File sharing functions between the XP computers. However, I am simply unable to influence the "password protected sharing setting" in the network and sharing Center. I check the option to turn it off and I get a click through UAC dialog window, the mouse cursor turns for a short time while as if windows is pretending to do something, but the password protected sharing setting is always on.

    I tried to disable Avira Antivir.

    I enabled the guest account and set its password to a string explicitly empty with net user guest «»

    Nothing helps.

  • iPhone 5 - can't turn off / reboot that can not enter password

    iPhone 5 - can't turn off / reboot that can not enter password

    Screen has the 'things to do' info partially down the top of the screen, unable to access the "forehand" (try but does not) to unlock, when press button on / off nothing happens (normally have to enter the access code, but cannot get to it!)

    Any ideas?  I'm leaving tomorrow at 04:00 to travel and NEED this phone.  Have a "Genius Bar" appointment at 05:10 this evening in a busy shopping mall but prefer NOT to have to do!

    A C & P is appropriate here...

    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are a few standard repair procedures:

    First of all, try a system reset.  He heals many ailments and it's fast, easy and safe...

    Hold down the power button and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You won't lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

    If the Reset does not work, try a restore.  Note that it is nowhere near as fast as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via a cable to the computer that you use for synchronization.  In iTunes, select the iPod/iPhone/iPad, and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen instructions for restoration and don't forget to say 'yes' to the backup and go back to iTunes on the computer (NOT iCloud) because it is more comprehensive.  You will be notified that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be deleted, but that the restoration is complete, you will be asked if you want the backup content to be copied to the iPod/iPhone/iPad.  Even once, say 'yes'.

    At the end of the basic restore, you will be asked if you want to synchronize the iPad/iPod/iPhone.  As before, say 'yes'.  Note that syncs selection will disappear and the restoration will terminate if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If this happens, only applications that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective is simple – bottom right of iTunes, choose manual 'Sync '.

    If you are unable to do the restore (or it does not help), go into Recovery Mode according to the instructions here.  You will lose all your data (game scores, etc.,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being recharged.  In addition, read this.

  • Why my OS took so much space and how can I turn off automatic Back-ups?

    Hi, I'm opperating on Windows Vista Basic Home Edition on top of a HP540 Tower, which has 160 GB hard drive.

    Except for the 20 GB Partition, I stayed with 129 GB to install a fresh on o/s.

    After installing my o/s and updates the 7Gig to clean Documents saved from after installation.

    I was left with 99 Go!

    Something wrong without a doubt!

    Even more, I'm losing memory on my hard drive like there is no tomorrow, 30 GB in 4 days!

    It seems every time I'm streaming videos, or even just to watch videos, an external hard drive.

    I lose about 1 or 2 GB!

    Using a number of antivirus programs, I scanned for a virus, but all programs concluded that the

    the system is clean and that there is no virus!

    This led me to believe that the system backup and restore several coppies of his car, then

    I have used the disk clean up to remove all but the most recent backup file.

    All of a sudden my disk space is increased from 69BG to 99 GB.

    I still don't know what happened to the other Go 20 or 21.

    Although this seems to be a difficulty, with in a few minutes that the backup has been busy writing far still and in

    15 minutes that I had fallen to 97.3 GB and deminuishing.

    Why my OS took so much space and how can I turn off automatic Back-ups?

    Thank you very much!

    Nothing wrong as far as I can see.  A Windows installation will take about 20 GB to 30 GB so it's fine, and you will lose even more space for virtual memory to system management file, hibernation, system restore points file and so on.  Although the "30 GB in four days" is perhaps a little on the high side, considering that you have just installed Windows, there are a lot of household, creating files and so forth go on these days.

    With the help of disk cleanup to delete these files from system restore is a bad choice, because they are created to ensure the security of your system and allow you to recover from any problems that may require them.

    If disk space is as big a problem to get a bigger hard drive and let the system restore to do its job.

  • Windows 7 does not ask for password when password protected sharing is on.

    Hi guys,.

    I'm no stranger to permissions etc as I work in it, but it confused me after 4 hours of messing around.

    I'm trying to make sure that when I share a file on my home network that windows requires a password in order to access what it is not doing.

    The following conditions are true for both machines:

    Are windows 7 Home premium

    Have file sharing enabled on each respective network adapter

    Are members of the home network

    Are both on the network, called "WORKING group".

    Assistant file sharing was turned on and off then to make sure it wasn't an influence, it is currently off as he auto-actions the user root folder.

    Network discovery is on

    File sharing and printer is on

    I tried the two combinations of sharing folders public or not, but is currently disabled.

    Streaming media is off

    Password protected sharing is on

    Tried the two combinations of user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers. (This is currently set to allow windows to manage)

    So I won't list them the public parameters are not relevant.

    I put one hand on my laptop remove 'Everyone' and 'administrators' only have my own authorized account which is be an administrator.

    My other machine but I still seem to be able to open and access the folder. I tried to change advanced sharing permissions and security settings to exclude any group that can be let my other pc on the network but so far still no prompt for password.

    I even went to regedit and apply the following on both machines:

    1. Open Registry Editor (Start search - regedit)
    2. navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
    3. create a new DWORD value with the following properties: NAME: LmCompatibilityLevel
    VALUE: 1
    4 reboot your PC and try again to establish the connection.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you people!

    I think I've cracked the question:

    I created a new account admin on my PC and the first time I tried to access anything, I got the password. I don't have it a second time.

    I then removed and put in the passwords and then disconnected cache and back in and asked again the password.

    I tried the same thing on my other account, but it has not yet requested.

    It turns out that even on another computer, if you have the same username and password that it automatically authorizes for good once you enter the network password first.

  • Password protected sharing

    I've set up according to the "book" of password protected sharing and I only get "access denied" from Vista or XP machines. All the account names and passwords are correct on both computers.

    If I put 'All' in the list then everything works but of course no security.

    Thank you Anthony T for you answer.

    Everything now works as it should in the first place, hope it holds for several days.

    My solution (s):

    1. wait a day, or
    2. turn off the XP machine, then press, or
    3 turn off the Windows Firewall on again.
    4. clear your "outer" firewall for a day, do work things out and then turn it back on.

    One of these (or all three) or none of them did the trick.

    Thanks for help you, I was definitely lost.

I don't need to what are essentially the bars of TWO Windows covering the entire width of the image of my screen! I already have a Windows bar at the bottom of my screen, and if I really wanted to, I could change ITS position towards the top of the screen, so that it would LOOK at the windows of Firefox tabs bar. Firefox TABS are, essentially, a SECOND bar Windows superfluous.

    Here are my reasons why I prefer to use Mozilla's Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. I love and admire Firefox intended to Mozilla on good security for Personas Firefox Add-on and for free use of Firefox in the Add on Ad-Block, which, as you know, has the merit of separate to reduce the size of the screen - the last is my reason for wanting to get rid of "windows" Firefox SUPERFLUOUS tabs bar.

  • How can I turn off the laptop after restoring it to factory settings?

    Hello everyone

    I'm selling my Portege R830-10 q If I want to restore it to the settings to factory (out-of-box state) AND THEN TURN IT OFF.

    I brought the laptop to factory settings successfully using the _TOSHIBA recovery Wizard_ and choosing * factory default software recovery (Recover State out-of-box) *. However, at the end of the process of recovery and after everything is back in place I was not able to TURN off the POWER to the laptop. It only gave me the option to restart. After rephrasing it, the Windows installation process starts.

    I don't want to install Windows, i.e. language, keyboard, user account, etc. I want to leave the Windows installation for the person buying the laptop to me. How can I turn off the laptop after the recovery of the system without having to install Windows?

    I would appreciate your help.

    Concerning

    Pedro

    When the recovery process is complete and you are prompted for a reboot just press start button / stop and turn it off. I think it's only thing you can do.

    Anyway, why not start Windows and go through the configuration option. New owner can modify this basic anyway parameters. As username Admin and language and the keyboard can be set as default.

    For example, if you have a picture of German recovery set to German. New owner can change in any case.
