Explanation (?): |
The server service is the basis of all file and printer sharing on an NT based system. It also is a conduit through using network based remote procedure calls (RPC). For more information on RPC please view the services for it. This service is linked directly to the computer browser so if disabled your computer will not be able to access other shares as well as not be able to create or have others use any shares you may have. This is generally not needed unless you use NetBIOS file sharing. Please note that Windows file sharing is not used in programs such as KaZaA, eMule, Limewire, etc. as those use strict TCP/IP functions through their own nonstandard ports. This will also not interfere with network printing done through TCP/IP unless mapped through a NetBIOS printer sharename. Setting this to automatic is generally recommended unless you are sure you do not need it in which case you should set it to disabled. |

"Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship[...] Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." - Herman Goering: Intelligence office interview at Nuremberg, 1946/4/18
