If simple file sharing is enabled, the simple file sharing user interface is displayed instead of the Security and Sharing tabs. By default, this new user interface is implemented in both Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional if you are working in a workgroup. If you disable simple file sharing, the classic Security and Sharing tabs appear, and you can specify which users and groups have access to shared folders on your computer.

Note You cannot disable simple file sharing in Windows XP Home Edition.

Aha...Thanks Fredo6, TIG, & Dave R. I was under the impression Additional Plugin Folder plugin was a work around this problem. Apparently after reading many support articles and threads here, there, and everywhere else, Windows XP Home has failed me http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307874 no fix or work around available from my understanding. Thanks again for your help.

Hey TIG thanks for your reply I'm on Windows XP home 32 bit SP3. There`s no properties/security settings tab, thats a windows vista or 7 & up thing. I do have computer admin settings which I always log in as admin.

I had to manually click to show the check mark.

When ever I've gone back to check, the green box is back, but its not a checkmark.

Yes to the best of my ability and knowledge it appears the rights are set correctly. I do wonder if my comptuer retains these settings though.

Hi,
I had Tools on surface, Fredo Scale and other Fredo plugins installed in SU 7.1 and all was working OK. Today I installed SU 8, downloaded last versions of same plugins and everything worked OK until I tried to open Default Parameters dialog. It simply didn't open for any of the plugins... I reinstall plugins, even reinstall SU... nothing, the Default Parameters doesn't open. Any idea to solve that?
Thank you in advance.

I seem to be experiencing the same mysterious problem. Did clean reinstall of latest SU, and only additional plugin folder plugin. Then installed LibFredo6-v4.8, & TOSv1.8 in newly made additional folder everything seems to work except Default Parameter window still doesn't open. Made new isolated additional folder on drive E:\ (an SD card) then installed LibFredo6-v4.8, & Latest Round Corner plugin there. It works but still no Default Parameter Dialog window. Will post all kinds of screenshots if need be, let me know what you need from me. O.S. = Windows XP 32 home version, Thanks in advance.

Thank you Fredo, a most excellent plugin and easy to use!

Thank You Majid, very nice.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Chris, I've been haphazardly using/learning SU since ver. 5. I had gave up many times along the way as it seemed to difficult and confusing, not to mention time consuming, to learn and use. Glad to say I consider myself between novice and intermediate user now. I recently discovered the updated video tutorials, started watching those from the beginning again, they helped tremendously. I highly, highly, recommend these to anyone using SU new or old, they are so much better than the old vids, and give a whole different approach to SU use. Lurking around this site has taught me many tips and tricks, and now starting to discover plug-ins and other resources which will come in handy. Thank You SketchUcation!!!
