If all you did was turn simple file sharing off, I don't
think that would have any effect at all. However, after
you've turned it off, you can then give all sorts of
permissions to files that are as complex vs. simple, wide-
open vs. closed as you like. (Right click on the
file/folder -> properties -> Security tab.)
