Shared folders - how to disable

[Mulroy]

I don't know how this happened as I did NOT change or alter any settings. I
did surf the net yesterday.

Whenever I cut a folder and paste it elsewhere, it puts the two people
shared icon on it. When I hit the folder properties, it states that the
folder is not shared. When I go to delete the folder, it says it IS shared
and when I try to delete it, it locks up.

I do not want any of this shared folder stuff enabled. How do I get rid of
it?

If I copy - paste a folder, it does not put the share icon on it and does
the above.
If I cut - paste a folder, it does.

You should be able to turn off sharing via networking in control

panel...

Hello locoeng

I had never turned it on in the first place. I compared it to another Vista
computer that is not having this issue and theirs has the same settings for
that networking and sharing.
