No to this one (apart from turining Appletalk off)

And yes to this one. Apart from all the little Appleshare files you
trashed, there are one or 2 HIDDEN appleshare pref file you have to get
rid of. I don't remember their names off the top of my head but if you go
to Apple's site and do a search on their Tech Info Library you'll find
them there along with a very simple procedure on how to do it.

Good luck
