You are working as a senior network technician at Domain.com. You have just installed a laser printer that is directly connected to your Windows XP workstation. You wish to share the laser printer to the local workgroup consisting of the other technicians at Domain.com. You want to be able to control which users can access the printer but you cannot find a permissions tab for the printer. Which of the following actions should you take?

A.
Remove unwanted users from the Local Users and Groups.

B.
Turn off Simple File Sharing and set the permissions for the shared printer.

C.
Use the printer’s operation panel menu to lock out unwanted users.

D.
Set up a shortcut to the printer on the desktop and set the permissions for the shortcut.

Explanation:
Windows XP lets you share a computer’s disks and folders with other computers on the network, using a method called Simple File Sharing. And it really is simple. If a disk or folder is shared, everyone on the network can access it. There are no user permissions and no passwords. Because sharing in this way is so wide open, Windows XP tries to protect you from some potential security risks.
