re: Changing HD Sharing resets ALL archive bits Wednesday, October 14, 2009 at 12:52 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by MartinM (7548 messages posted) Sorry to say I think you can't. Enabling/disabling sharing resets a bunch of files attributes and I don't know of any way to tune that. Maybe someone knows better . . . . But if you have XP Pro, , then why not use an ACL instead of file sharing? That would protect you in the circumstances you describe without having to turn file-sharing on and off.
