User folder won't stop sharing no matter what
Hello,
Wow, this is the most annoying thing I hate about windows 7 and up! I have created a homegroup and all my computers are in it. I have a folder under the user name directory (users\username\shared folder). I right click the "shared folder" under the user name directory and click "share with", then "homegroup view and edit". Then I go to the homegroup computers and look in the shared folder on that computer from another pc on the network and it shows the whole "users" folder including public folders, appdata (if i show hidden files), and the "default" user folder or sometimes it will not show the whole users folder but still shows the public folders, appdata folder and "default" user folder ohh and public folders are even set to off in "advanced sharing settings". It seems that if I share any one folder under the username directory (users\UserName\shared folder) it auto shares that whole user directory (documents, videos, contacts, music, etc). This is sooo freakin annoying!! I have even tried removing the "Everyone" group from the security tab on the shared folder and then tried sharing it again but same thing happens. Any help is much appreciated!
