    Since downgrading all my Vista laptops I am much happier but for one Vista feature - the set network private/public feature that disables all your shares on public networks. Is there a utility to do this? Alternativey should I setup the Windows XP firewall to do this and then simply enable the firewall for public networks and disable it for private networks?

    Thanks for any advice,

    William
