Thanks. So there is no way to set e.g. a drive (C:\) to be accessible on the network, even if it is being set as "shared".

No, they do not automatically duplicate themselves. The Public folder is for
when you want to share files with others on the computer or on other
computers on the network without sharing your own personal user directory.
If you are all by yourself or not sharing those files, there is no reason
to ever use the Public folder. Just leave it alone. You can't delete it
because it is a system folder (other multi-user operating systems like Mac
OS X, Linux, and Unix have a Public folder too).
