Cannot stop sharing a folder on home network and cannot rename a network share
I have shared a folder in Windows 7 ultimate. WHen I right click and select SHARE WITH, I do not get NO ONE as an option, the only option available is ADVANCED SHARING which does not permit me to stop sharing and does not let me chane the name of the share. I have a spelling error in the share name that I want to correct. I have tried right clicking the shared in NETWORK that also does not let me change anything. There is no delete share option.I have one PC with a non-windows OS connected using wireless in my network. I am using HOMEGROUP; but wireless PC does not show in HOMEGROUP. It shows up in NETWORK. I will appreciate any suggestions.

I haven't set up a Homegroup, but this works for me using regular sharing: After clicking Advanced sharing... , click the Advanced Sharing button and un-check Share this folder . Steve Winograd, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience)
