System Preferences always opens in the file sharing pane

Set up file sharing on OS Big Sur between my iMac and MacBook Pro and since setting up the system preferences pane, when selected from the dock icon, now always opens in the File Sharing Pane on both machines. Just looking for the Terminal CMD to fix this.

iMac 27″, macOS 11.6

Thanks for your help I was searching for the CMD below:


sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nosappnd,noschg,nosunlnk,nouappnd,nouchg {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-


Posted in here some time back, it fix's the problem of after file sharing enabled the Sys. Pref. opening on the "File Sharing" pane in Big Sur and Monterey.
