Which folders are shared from my computer?

I had one shared folder that had kept me wondering for sometime. I was not able to find it on my disk.
Actually you can see all you shared folders, with their location using 'Computer Management' utility.

1. Right click My Computers
2. Select Manage option.
3. Go to Shared Folders.
4. Then go to Shares.

OR
use Start->Run-> fsmgmt.msc

There you are.

Using this I found that my drives are also shared. This is a problem if someone knows that they can access the computers drives, they can get hold of all your information and data.
I disabled the sharing of drives, using the same utility.
