Sharing only ONE folder with the network...but mac os x allows windows to see all drives

I'm trying to share ONLY one folder on my i Mac (my imac os version 10.8.3) with the other pc in my organisation.

But when I enable file sharing, it automatically opens the entire computer to all the admins in the network.

I have found no way to restrict this and make only the shared folder accessible for admins yet....

Help?

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), iphone

My question was what appears in the Terminal window. I understand that there's nothing in the TextEdit window.
