This will enable your XP system to be lean, mean and ready to do battle with attackers of all types. Make sure that all partitions on your computer are formatted using NTFS. Be careful! I have goofed this up myself so be careful and always make a backup of critical data, but that should go without saying! By default, Windows XP Professional systems that are not connected to a domain use a network access model called "Simple File Sharing," where all attempts to log on to the computer from across the network will be forced to use the Guest account.
This means that network access through Server Message Block SMB, used for file and print access , as well as Remote Procedure Call RPC, used by most remote management tools and remote registry access will only be available to the Guest account. Ok, this is lame and we should change this. In the Simple File Sharing model, file shares can be created so that access from the network is read-only, or access from the network is able to read, create, change, and delete files.
Simple File Sharing is intended for use on a home network and behind a firewall, such as the one provided by Windows XP. If you are connected to the Internet, and are not operating behind a firewall, you should remember that any file shares you create might be accessible to any user on the Internet.
To enable ICF, right-click an Internet connection in Network Connections, click Properties, click the Advanced tab, and then select the appropriate check box. I would suggest getting a real firewall product that is more robust then this, but if this is all you have, enable it! Software restriction policies provide administrators with a policy driven mechanism that identifies software running in their domain, and controls the ability of that software to run. Using a software restriction policy, an administrator can prevent unwanted programs from running; this includes viruses and Trojan horses, or other software that is known to cause conflicts when installed.
