Default Windows 98 Sharing Warning



I get the followin warning sometimes when I attempt to
sign off

"There are 1 user(s) connected to your computer. Shutting
down will disconnect them. Do you want to continue?"

I have no visible shares. Any suggestion on how to
determine who is connected to my PC?

Turn off file sharing via the Control Panel / Network. If
someone complains then you will know who it is. If
no one complains then it's probably just as well that
you have plugged a big security hole.

Use NetWatcher. To install it, go to Control Panel | Add/Remove
Programs | Windows Setup | System Tools. To run it, either click
Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Netwatcher or click
Start | Run, type "netwatch" in the box, and click OK.
