I try to share only ONE folder (downloads, a blue folder) but all blue
folders are visible on network. Only the intended folder (downloads)
has the "share" icon on it, and is the only folder showing up in the
search, "shared by me". I've double and tripled checked that the parent
folder, "username" under "Users" is NOT shared. but the contents of all
the blue folders is visible from other pc's. also, a yellow folder
under "username" is also visible, although not intended to be shared
either. grrr!!!!!

Perfect!!! Thanks, Robert. After running "net share" and viewing the
results I quickly learned the syntax to remove the shares via the
command prompt. No way was i able to do it in the GUI. In fact, the
last few times I tried, Vista responded by hanging.
