    My M1330 keeps showing up on my XPS 420 at the office whenever I turn on the laptop. Is there a way to make sure that my laptop doesn't show up? I want to use my laptop in the library, but I'm afraid that it might show up on someone elses computer and get hacked / attacked?

    What do you mean showing up? Like when you get a pop-up that asks if you want to share media files/settings? If so, go to your Windows Media Player, click on the Library dropdown on the menu bar, click on Media Sharing and uncheck the first option.

    Disable file sharing on your M1330.

    No, it doesn't ask me any questions. It just immediately say "You are now connected to 420." or something like that.
