So, I share a folder once. By adding "everyone" to the list of "people to share with." Then, I unshare it. All of a sudden it has a "lock icon" on it that I can't get rid of.

Why?

AFAIK, the lock icon is just Windows's way of saying "this file isn't shared with anyone".

But why don't all my other folder have the icon then? I hate how folders I've shared and unshared now stick out like a sore thumb.
