[Casper] Getting rid of the "shared" computers list in the sidebar

[John DeTroye]

1. Set the Sidebar prefs on your admin system to show nothing in  
"Sharing"
2. In WGM/Prefs/Details, add your com.apple.sidebarlists.plist to  
"Often"
3. Remove all but the following from the entry:



4. All of your bound clients will have the "Sharing" section turned off.
Note: If the user turns any portion of it back on in Finder/ 
Preferences, the "Sharing" will return (escalations might get this  
fixed... hint, hint)

Of course you are using WGM/MCX to manage your Mac preference  
policies, right?

:-)
