Disabling all shared folders

AsusG72GX · 17 May 2014

Hello!

I have checked the list of all shared folders in my desktop, (in Computer Management/Shared Folders/Shares). But if I trying to disable sharing this folders (E.g. C:\Windows, Disk drives (C,D,E,G:\)) in their properties, they sharing is already disabled as checkbox is not marked. So why this folders, disk drives are still marked as shared in Shares tab. Is there are any way to fully restrict sharing of all of this folders (i.e. fully restrict and disable any sharing activity) and disk drives? And for what IPC$ (Remote IPC) folder is used(since there is no any path to it)? Thanks in advance for your reply!
