How can I make this so easy that it gets done?

The root of the C-drive on my wife's notebook -- running XP -- has
sharing enabled including "allow users to change my files" for
legitimate reasons and the home network is firewalled, MAC filtering
enabled on wireless transmitter, WEP enabled, not close to any other
houses etc. I'd like to make it really simple, ideally with a
one-click desktop icon, for my wife to kill sharing of her drives
whenever the notebook leaves home and might log into a public network.
Obviously there should be a one-click icon to restore sharing when she
brings it home.


Thanks in advance

Don,

These programs let you store multiple network configurations and switch between
them easily:

NetSwitcher
http://www.netswitcher.com

MultiNetwork Manager
http://www.globesoft.com/mnm_home.html

See if either of them gives you "one-click" functionality. I would think that
either should have that possibility if you work hard enough.
