Unshared network folders
To whom ever can give me some intel.
I have windows 7 x64 whenever I share a folder and then unshare it, the folder still shows as shared but cant be access as is obvious.
How do you remove that folder from being shown in network places as being shared.
Of course i have googled this before posting and came upon this

Which in fact does not work for me at all.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thats a odd problem - when you stop a share it's removed. Just tried it here on 2 Win7 machines.
You running SP1?
They disappear after a while.
Maybe clean the Nethood folder in your users folder.
Click start, then right-click on Computer, choose Manage.
That should open your Computer Management console. (you can also type Computer Management into the search bar in your start menu)
On the left choose Shared Folders (under System Tools) and open the Shares item. The list of folders you are sharing, even if they don't exist on your computer any more, should be in there.
Leave the C$, etc shares, but look for the ones you don't want shared any more.
Hope that helps

Seems the "shortcuts (eg. the shares)" stays there.
The theoretical capacity of a Boeing 747 filled with Blu-ray Discs is 595,520,000 Gigabytes, resulting in a 245,829 Gbit/s flight from New York to Los Angeles.
Just disable network share discovery, which creates "shortcuts", then that "problem" would be solved.
I do not have SP1 installed a bit reluctant about installing it. Maybe that could be the issue, But I have identical Windows also on 2 machines here, the one's folders disappear as it should, just the other one is not doing the same.
Have not tried this but when it happens again i definitely will try this.They disappear after a while.

This definitely worked for me thx Species, I have seen that option under management many times never even crossed my mind.Click start, then right-click on Computer, choose Manage.

Thx for everyone's help much appreciated

I would def install SP1 even if it doesnt fix the problem - they release SP's for a reason and its been out for ages already.
