    How to stop sharing a folder?


    Windows Help says "To stop sharing a folder by using the Windows interface:

    Open Computer Management. In the console tree, click System Tools, then click Shared Folders, and then click Shares. In the details pane, right-click a shared folder, and then click Stop Sharing."

    I've done exactly that. When I right-click any shared folder, I get a menu with four choices: Open, All Tasks, Refresh, Help. The only choice under "All Tasks" is "Open". Why don't I see a "Stop Sharing" choice?

    Go to the folder right click
    left click on properties
    You should see the share options
    I have tested, using Windows 10. Seven should be the same in this area.

    Yes, that worked. I assume the help section I referenced must have been out of date. Thanks!
