After disabling Simple file sharing, are you seeing the following options (checkboxes) in the sharing tab?

"Do no share this folder"
"Share this folder"

folder is not shared on the

shared.... and when you make enable, the box in the (Sharing this folder on
the network) is
dimmed and i can not share the folder (please note that in this picture i'm
using a deferent PC)

Weird! Is the share appearing when you:

1. Open fsmgmt.msc (type in Start, Run) MMC?
2. Browse the computer using UNC path, from another system?

shared it and i can see this folder through the netwrok... but when i go to

Okie. Did you enable the "Make this folder private" option sometime earlier, for the folders within your user profile? If so, undo that setting:

Also, after turning Simple File Sharing off and sharing the folder, is the share appearing when you:

1. Open fsmgmt.msc (type in Start, Run) MMC?
2. Browse the computer using UNC path, from another system?
