How to disable a sharepoint

Hello there,

I have enabled Personal File Sharing on my MacBook. When I connect to the MacBook file server a window with two sharepoints appears showing the home folder of the MacBook user and the "Macintosh HD" share point.
I'd like to disable the "Macintosh HD" share point, how can I do that??

Thanks in advance,

Vittorio

iMac Core Duo 20" and MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

In Finder>Preferences>Sidebar, toggle off the Show Network Icon, reboot, then toggle that setting back on.

If that doesn't do it, you can use Netinfo Manager>config>Sharepoints on the MacBook to delete that one, or even get Sharepoints to disable it...

Well if i were you i wouldnt do this. This share will only show up for Admin accounts not Standard accounts. And as an Admin you never know when you might want o get access to it. If you plan to share with others and dont want them to have access make them separate accounts instead of giving them your user/pass and make those accounts Standard accounts.

Ant, you may very well be right... forgot to ask which "Macintosh HD" this might be for one thing! Thanks. 🙂
