Quick Question

I don't know what to make of this. I'm running windows xp home with
all updates and critical security things installed.

I just set my computer to share its printer with a network of wireless
laptops yesterday.

I never noticed before, but I never checked before but

When I double click "my network places", then in the left sidebar,
click view workgroup computers, then click the name of the computer
I'm using (the xp machine that shares the printer)

I see that I'm sharing a shared folder I set up, my printer ****and my
scheduled tasks folder!!!!****

WTF?!?

Did I set that accidentally, did someone hack in and set that?

How do I get that off of the list? When I do a search for all files
and folders containing the word "task" no folders come up that I can
turn off sharing.

I'd really appreciate any help.

Just to make more specific questions:

Is there a way to "unshare" a system folder that is shared?

My other computers cannot see the folder in question so it may not
actually be shared. I just want it off of the list.

Is there a place in the registry the keeps a list of all shared items
and has information about why the items appear as shared?
