Unable to switch off "share this folder on the network"

I have a PC and Laptop wirelessly connected to a broadband wireless router.
No problem with setting folders to be accessed from one machine to another.
I now wish to switch off Sharing for a folder (My Documents) on my laptop and
the command is greyed out (right-click properties of the folder, sharing tab).
The "make this folder private" option is also greyed out. This option is
also greyed out for all other folders.

Can you help?

Click to expand...

I think the sharing of "My Documents" is controlled from the user tab
in the control panel

Goto control panel, open users, open your name, look at the options
there
 
Thanks for taking the time to write back. I can find no options to do this
in my user account.

It used to work ok until I set a windows password to log on and then removed
it.

Any more Ideas?
 
I'm at work, all the pc's here are in a domain so I cant check where
that option was (I think your using a workgroup)

I think the home network wizard (in network places) has options to turn
file sharing on/off
