Changing HD Sharing resets ALL archive bits

To backup my laptop data, I use a batch file based on the XCopy command that looks
for the set Archive bit for only files that have changed recently.
But, when I take my laptop to hot spots, I turn the hard drive sharing off for better
data protection.
For some reason, Windows XP sets the archive attribute bit for ALL the files on my
hard drive during this sharing on/off process.
How can I turn my hard drive sharing on or off without XP affecting the archive bits?
Thanks ...
