Cannot Unshare Files without Windows 7

[laplapye]

I Cannot Unshare Files without Windows 7. I have two PCs, one functioning windows XP and one functioning Windows 7. The trouble is that I can observe every of my individual files from Network Places on windows XP. The just means I can immobilize this is if I exit every File and Printer Sharing. Is there a method to only share single folder to the network in Windows 7? I mean, devoid of moving it to the public folder. As well how do I unshare my individual files? Anyone have any idea regarding this? Please help!!!

I attempted performing this but am still able to observe every my files from my further PC.
Here is what I am performing on my windows XP System:

1. walk off to Network Places
2. I click on the "Users on < name>" folder
3. I observe a Default, a Public and < Username> Folder
4. while I click on Username Folder it poses for my login password.
5. If I type it, I can access every of my individual files.

How can I stop this feature, when still keeping ability to just split one or two folders, with no placing them in a divide Public folder?
