  Why are all computers shown with a Printers folder even if printer sharing is disabled?
Time: 00:01 EST/05:01 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

When you visited a computer on the network by typing \\computername into the address bar, Explorer showed you a Printers folder if the computer had printer sharing enabled. But starting in Windows Vista, the Printers folder is shown regardless of whether the remote computer is sharing any printers. Why did this change?
