When I open the properties on a network connnection on windows, I see this dialog:
Connection_Properties http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/ca7a4d82ea.png

In this dialog, in the check-listbox I can enable or disable options like “File or printer sharing”, “client for microsoft networks” or network filter drivers.

My question is: How can I enable/disable these options programatically? I didn’t find anything that looks like this in the WMI documentation and I couldn’t find any other Win32 API for this. I would prefer a C Win32 API or WMI interface, but a solution using any programming language is welcome. The question is language-agnostic.

    I think INetCfg is what you’re looking for:

    Edit: Here’s a link to a discussion where someone uses INetCfg to disable just File & Printer sharing.
