You could change the Workgroup name, so that it is not part of the same workgroup.  Right Click on My Computer, choose properties, go under the Computer Name tab, click the Change button, and then change the name of the workgroup, OK all the way out, and reboot.

There are numerous possibilities for this and would require lots more information to get a specific answer for you.  Try looking at the resources here: http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/homenetworking/a/homenetguide.htm\n\nFor example, which operating systems are on the various machines?  That can make a HUGE difference if they are different (especially Windows XP Pro and Windows XP Home).

if you were running Windows XP professional or a Windows 2003 server, you could right click on the files, check the "Security" tab, and restrict the access rights user by user. XP Home won't let you do that.\n\nIf you have Windows XP, you need to ensure that those Read-only rights (in the "Security" tab, mind, not that little read only checkbox on the "General" tab) are enforced on the users you want to enforce them on - explicitly specify only your superuser accounts (like Administrator) with greater rights. \n\nif you do this, I assure you - nobody, not even the computer itself, will be able to move these files. It will crash before succeeding...

You don't say what OS you are using. If you are using Windows 2000 then autodisconnect when idle is the default setting. To disable autodisconnect in Windows 2000 follow the instructions shown in the link below\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/138365\n\nBasically it says go to start-> run, type in cmd->enter & at the prompt type net config server /autodisconnect:-1

log on as guest, this will create a 'personalised' start menu for that account.\nThen log off and come back in as Administrator... use windows explorer to go to c:documents and settings/guest/start menu delete any short cuts in there you want access denying to\nnow go to the 'all users' start menu, take out any shortcuts you dont want them to access from there, best way is to cut them and paste into the start menu of your personal account. Now when you log on as guest the shortcuts shouldnt appear---although this doesnt stop them using windows explorer to navigate to the .exe file to run them--- To totally deny access, you need to set the NTFS permissions on any .exe files you dont want guests to run to 'deny'. \nClick on 'tools' in windows explorer, go to folder options, view, scroll down and un-check 'use simple file and folder sharing'... now if you right click on a file and choose properties you'll see a security tab...click this and add the guest account, withj the permission set to deny on all.

Not necessarily. Disable sharing your drives, and turn on the firewall if you're using Windows XP

Go to "run" (option seen when you press 'start' on the toolbar) and type "msconfig". Then you would get a window in which you would have a tab called startup. There you can remove the networking check during startup. Hope this helped.

Disable any other lan connections like wired nics, 1394 lan etc.  Have only the wireless one enabled.

i had to do this myself. if you have windows xp home edition: go under contol panel, then internet options and there will be different taps for security, connections, privacy, content, general, advanced. and you can navigate yourself threw that from there. its pretty self-explanatory and easy.

You can use the NetRebooter from System7Software.\n\nAs long as you have admin rights on the computer this tool will let you shudown log off or reboot a computer remotely.

If you use XP pro, you could set ownership and permissions on folders and barred another users from accessing it.

You have a few options. If your using Internet Explorer then click on tools and select Internet options. Click on the tab for security then select select "restricted sites and find the button that says "sites" and click it. Type in the website address in the "add to website zone" and click the add button. This will disable the site on the most part. \nAnother way to to go to Windows Explorer (right click the "my computer" icon on your desktop or from the start button and select explore" and then from the toolbar at the top of the window click on tools and select "folder options" which will open another window which you then have to click on the "view" tab. in the Advanced settings window find the settings called "hidden files and folders" and make sure :show hidden files and folders" is selected. click OK or Apply then OK and close all the windows you just opened. Now click on start and then search then files and folders. If this is Windows Xp then on the left select all files and folders then search for hosts files and right click it so you can select "open with" from the window that comes up select notepad and when it opens you need to read the example they have and then in the list (right below 127.0.0.1 localhost) type in 127.0.0.1 then a space and then the website address. Save it as Hosts in this location: \nFor Windows XP\nC:&#92;WINDOWS&#92;system32&#92;drivers&#92;etc\nFor Windows 2000\nC:&#92;WINNT&#92;system32&#92;drivers&#92;etc
