[SOLVED] Unshared files/folders still show up

Carol Greene · 03-09-2008, 02:19 PM

I had a lot of different files and folders shared on my computer linked to my home network. I decided to take the sharing privileges off many of these files and folders. When I looked at the computers in the workgroup, then clicked on this computer, those files and folders still show up although they cannot be accessed. Why do they still show up?

Delete them from Network places, they'll be gone.

Some things are, but not all things.
