Interestingly, MS says there should be a "Disable" option in the right-click
menu, but it's not present on my computer (XP Pro, SP2) either.
If you use the "Help" option in the r-click menu and look under "Shared
Folders" you'll see how to use Explorer to disable sharing a folder. You'll
also see why this may not be a good idea, depending on what you wish to
accomplish.
