Default Homegroup ?!

After an update, I now have a Homegroup icon at center bottom of my
desktop. Not entirely sure what Homegroup is for, but the icon is
completely fixed. It appears to be an utility related to things shared
through a network. Only Printers are selected which is probably good,
since I share a Desktop and a Laptop.

Any info or help greatly appreciated and thanks.

After reboot ( for something else ), the Homegroup icon mysteriously
disappeared. Go figure !

Any info or help still greatly appreciated and thanks.

Google "windows disable homegroup"!

Basically, disable and stop services with the word "homegroup"!

And you can see it allows the sharing of Libraries.
