Sharing and C:\USers

I have a big problem with sharing. If i want to share anything in C:\Users folder, whole C:\users get shared. So if i want to share "C:\Users\Username\Documents\SharedFolder", it will share whole C:\Users folder and not just the one i selected.

I have most of my data inside documents and on the desktop. So i still have to use USB flash drive to transfer data because i don't want to share whole C:\Users

Is there any way to fix that issue?

Right click ..\Users\Username folder.

Select Share With NOBODY

Apply and wait

Right click target folder in ..\Users\Username\whatever

Select Share With

select Everybody or whatever

Apply and wait

Now, only the subfolder should be shared

Nope, still whole users folder gets shared.

Also i forgot to mention, that i can't access users folder on homegroup page. I have to type \\Computer\Users to get to it.

I have avoided HomeGroups since way back in the beta. As such, I can not be of further assistance. Not that I dislike advancements in ease of use - I just did not see what was broken or in need of "advancement".

I can see the oddities that Homegroups foster.

It is actually not homegroup problem. I remember having same problem with Vista, which have normal sharing.

Hmmm. Are you sharing the entire drive? Which would include ..\Users?

Nope. I just want to share folder inside users folder, i'm not sharing anything else.

Just found that problem is that it don't want to stop sharing. I rigth click on \Users\username --> share with --> nobody. Then window appears and start doing something for few minutes. When window closes, folder is still shared.

Are you logged on as an admin?

Yes. UAC also turned off.

I was under the impression that "homegroup" shared users folders by default, thus the issue when attempting to "share" sub folders.
