Hi
It is Not a big deal to Right click on the folder choose the sharing and
Uncheck the sharing Box.
But it is crude way that in the long run might confuse the whole system.
I switched Off the public sharing on my laptop and all the other sharing I
protect with Password.
Thus if some one tries to log on he/she goes nowhere.

Thanks for your reply,

I think switching all different shares manually on and off every time
not only might confuse the system but would also get tiresome after a
while.
I guess disabling public sharing and protecting the shares with
password is the way to go.
