There is no shared icon any longer. Instead, they switch to only giving private files an icon, (Pad lock).

What are those little overlay icons: Windows 7 edition - The Old New Thing - Site Home - MSDN Blogs

No longer present as an overlay is the sharing hand. Why was the sharing hand removed in favor of the private overlay?
