Remove Default Shared Folders

Winndows XP comes with a shared folder called
Shared Documents which is visible when you open
My Computer. You can remove the folder by removing a
key in the registry. (You might want to do this because,
for example, vuruses can end up there through an infected
network). Browse to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\Deleg ateFolders\.

Here, delete the key with name
"(59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee)".
The shared folder will dissappear.
