View and Edit the Properties of Shared Folders by Using Computer Management
You can view and edit the properties of any shared folder through Computer Management
by right-clicking the shared folder and selecting Properties. Figure 9-6 shows the
Properties dialog box of a shared folder named Public Files. On the Security tab of new
shares that you create, you can also manage the NTFS permissions of the folder.
Figure 9-6 Use Computer Management to modify the properties of a shared folder.
How to Stop Sharing a Folder
You can also use Computer Management to stop sharing a folder (or a particular share
name for a folder). To stop sharing a folder in Computer Management, use the following
steps:
1. Start Computer Management, either by right-clicking My Computer and selecting
Manage, or from the Administrative Tools folder in Control Panel.
2. Expand the System Tools node.
3. Under the System Tools node, expand the Shared Folders node, and then select
the Shares folder.
4. In the Details pane, right-click the share that you want to stop, and then click Stop
Sharing.
This action does not delete the folder; it merely stops sharing the folder under the
particular share name.
