Not entirely sure what your requirement is here, but if you need to make
sure that shared folders aren't accessible then the main thing is to ensure
the firewall is On, and that the 'file and printer sharing' exception isn't
ticked.

If you don't intend to share files on a local network, then disabling the
Server service will provide a further degree of security.
